What's Going On?

There's a radio show I listen to called "The Catholic Guy with Lino Rulli" for entertainment, learning and to make my ride more enjoyable.  A segment on this show is called "What's Going On?".  I find myself asking that question more frequently as time goes on.  We are living in a world where planes are shot down and no one takes responsibility, where a nation is torn in two and both sides are bombing each other, where people are so busy fighting about their differences that they lose sight of what we have in common.  I don't think of myself as being innocent and seeing the world through rose colored glasses but there is beauty in our diversity and embracing it would be so much easier than fighting about our differences.  Why can't all the extremists in every facet of this world see that?  Maybe I am more innocent than I think but I want to know what's going on?
