Hi @foffy and a very warm welcome to you!
I just want to say, I really understand what you mean when you said that we can't go by a day without hearing about some horrible things that are happening all over the world.
I myself feel that we should open up a dialogue about issues in the world, especially on a serious platform like steemit, where opinions can be shared in a mature and intelligent way.
I hope you write about some more issues in a more in-depth way as you have an engaging style of writing.
Thank you and have a great time here on steemit :)
