I was just thinking something but it could totally be wrong or could totally not make sense. I haven’t really thought it out fully so for real, ignore it if it’s nothing.

But does anyone feel that every year almost gets worse and worse? Like each year as it goes by, I think we (atleast I feel like I do) hear of worse and worse tragedies, if tragedies can even be compared. I have no idea if this makes any sense but I just feel like crazier and crazier things happen each year. Things that we never thought could happen, do happen…a earthquake and tsunami in Japan… a family in Itamar being brutally murdered…a jewish boy being brutally murdered… a rav being brutally murdered… an earthquake, hurricane, severe flooding all in one week. I don’t know, I just don’t feel like last year there were these extreme tragedies. It could just be that I don’t remember everything from last year and this years pain just seems so extreme so it’s hard to remember last years but I don’t know if that’s the reason.

Anyone have any ideas or input? Sorry this is so long!!
