Lots of pain in the world, these days.
The middle east, of course. Muslims have a goodly amount to be unhappy about, though it seems like some of them are taking that to extremes. Got to be careful about criticizing them, though: like others of the '(fill in the deity name here) personally commissioned me to wipe out the heathens' ilk, they take umbrage easily. Not much love for calm reflection in that camp. Rather, they seem to prefer behavior that starts at intense, ramps up to inhuman, and tops out at barbaric -- all they need is a Cause, and its Kill The Infidel time -- literally.
Organizationally, there's some pain, too -- the people for whom I work are having one hell of a time nudging their stock up. Used to be pretty solidly considered a blue chip, but last couple of years, been more of a light teal. Perhaps even - cerulean.
And physiologically -- well, lets just say that they reached new heights in causing me to say OH. I will never view the offer of a massage quite the same way again.
I would like to think that there are well springs of peace and hope in the world, too, but at the moment, I think they're in hiding.
