 I am always striving to be a more peaceful person and lead a more peaceful life but, when I hear about all the selfish and ignorant issues going on in the news, it's hard for me to understand where people are coming from. In regards to the 28-year-old co-pilot who murdered all of those innocent people by crashing the plane into the French Alps, my heart hurts when I hear about and see news like this. They say that the co-pilot hid the fact that he was battling depression and I feel like a lot more needs to be done when they are screening individuals hoping to go into this field. I personally believe no one with any psychological condition should be allowed to go into this career. Because he chose to hide important information hundreds of relatives and friends of the passengers now have to worry about funeral arrangements rather than enjoying their day as they should; laughing, playing, spending time with loved ones.., etc. It also angers me that is acceptable to pass a bill (referring to the one passed in Indiana) allowing discrimination against anyone and everyone! I won't voice all of my feelings until I read more about it, however, most of my friends are international and come from various different backgrounds and have many different beliefs and traditions. They are amazing, caring people and if anyone denied them the right of something based simply on their race or beliefs, I would stand up for them with every fiber of my being! Please, please keep an open-mind and don't shut out ideas that are different from your own. Trust me, that will get you nowhere in life and it is no way to live!
