Sympathy. Sympathy. Has our country lost that in addition to empathy?
I don't know this nation, anymore. I know the people around me. But, this nation,...is a dark stranger without sympathy or empathy, let alone compassion or forgiveness or a drive to heal rather than hurt/oppress.

I have no nation. I do have comradely and friendship,...but, no nation.

1. It is pretty
freaking sad isn't it? I hardly recognize it, even some long time friends have become influenced by the us against them.

I can't imagine a life without compassion or empathy, seems mighty lonely and angry.

2. We've lost more than that
The United States of Amnesia can't remember what happened last week, either.
