InkTober 2016 – Day 05: “Sad”

The only thing that started coming to mind for “Sad” were making me, well, sad! People I miss, loved ones who’ve died, disasters and tragedies everywhere around the world. People oppressing other people. Greed overcoming generosity and kindness. Pure evil looking for nothing other than creating discontent and strife.

Then I thought of the ideals a group of folks had – the idea that people could work together to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, without infringing on the happiness of others. What would they say if they saw us now? Would they be pleasantly surprised at how well we’ve come? Or would they stand back and wonder why we’re not working harder to get along and help each person grow?

Hm… I think they’d be a little “sad”… but smile and let us know that we can do so much better… like your broken-hearted father when you’ve disobeyed yet again…
