This is my fourth book. This book is to share insight and experiences from various sources on the meaning of Starting Over everyday to fight the hatred I feel in this sad and heartbreaking society. All my writings are based upon true life experiences.
I want to share others’ experiences, my experiences, my view on this world which seem worse than the wickedness written about in the era of Sodom and Gomorrah, and my truth on the Covid19 pandemic. I also include the desires I wish I could see at the end of this long dark path.
I started writing about starting over because I found inhumanness (the ‘lack of compassion),’ in my everyday life. Kindness was as foreign as an alien. Normalcy between a man and woman in a relationship are as foreign as discovering life on another planet. Government officials continue to lie to us, especially about the Covid19 pandemic.
So, I had a mission to understand why. Why I did not see humanness’ (kindness, compassion, and approachability) within 95% of everyone each day. Remember in the era of Sodom and Gomorrah where the angels could not find 10 people without sin; so, the cities were destroyed. Therefore, it is not just in hospitality and corporate America where we see the lack of compassion is found in our everyday life; it is everywhere. When the Covid19 pandemic took control over society, I began to question the government’s methods; were they more focused on power, control, and profits over the safety of society.
There is so much hatred and sinful acts that I had to write about it to find some understanding. John Lennon sang the song, “Imagine;” with the help of his wife, Yoko Ono, they saw decades ago the need for the entire nation to live as one.
Trina Jordan's "Hatred: Fighting It Every Day" seems like a personal journal produced during times of spiritual struggle, introspection, and fatigue. It shows a really honest and emotionally strong picture of a woman attempting to retain compassion in a society sometimes seeming to be morally exhausted. She shows what it means to "start anew" every day just to keep her sanity by means of her ideas on poisonous workplaces, personal disappointments, social injustices, and spiritual tiredness. Though some of them might cause conflict, they result from actual suffering rather than ill will. From the genuineness of government responses to the COVID-19 epidemic to the declining decency in daily interactions, Jordan questions many aspects. Though it usually expresses anger or grief, her voice still carries hope. Her referencing of John Lennon's "Imagine" deftly ties the book together—a soft appeal to believe that truth, compassion, and peace still have great value. This is a story of challenges, internal, social, and spiritual, not a book with answers. This book will really connect with you if you have ever felt that the world has become too harsh and you are simply trying to preserve your soul.
