Feeling regretful for the world we live in..

I love my child endlessly and I feel like I was finally finding a rhythm..

But recently with the news and everything that is happening here (USA) is making me very depressed thinking omg what kind of world did I bring my child into?.

I almost feel regretful because I'm so scared for her, for us, for the world.

Today we were doing mundane stuff preparing for the storm and took her to a birthday party, while in MN that man was killed for defending his neighbor, a neighborn that maybe looked like my husband and myself.

She is so loved and was so desired and planned and we really try to give her a good life that sometimes I forget there are million of kids that are neglected and abused.

I think maybe I had pink colored glasses when I was so sure to bring a kid into this world.

I also have fears of if she grows up and just hold different values... values of judgment towards others, of seeing people different than her as a menace, or if she grows up to hurt other people. I mean right now she is a lovely toddler but I imagine the agent who shot the man today was also a lovely toddler sometime. How do we derail from being playful kids to hate each ot​her?
