Where Do We Go From Here?

The question is a simple one.....The answer maybe not so much. I was talking with my uncle  about all this strife in the world. It has gotten worse over the past years...gun violence,domestic violence, violent acts against the innocent. Now it has gotten to the point where they are selling "bullet-proof" back packs for school kids.....Wait a minute, bullet-proof back packs for school age kids....what is the world coming too....and where do we go from here?
