After leaving the United States and moving abroad, I have had a lot of time to reflect. I think a lot about the culture of desensitization in the United States. Our lives are so busy and stressful in the United States, many of us develop a habit of going through the motions, getting through, not really feeling the depth of what's actually happening around us. It's always go, go, go. Our US culture of go, go, go, keeps us in survival mode. It makes me sad to think about it, because I don't think anything will ever change in the US.
I made this video because I got so unbelievably sad after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Texas where 19 little kids were killed. American culture has become desensitized to these killings, and sadly nothing is going to change.
I feel so fortunate to come from the United States. I love the United States. But something is going terribly wrong in the United States.
