Your physical world is a vast and diverse place full of an amazing variety of events and circumstances, some of which you approve of (and would like to experience), and some of which you disapprove of (and would not like to experience). It was not your intention as you came forth into this physical experience to ask the world to change in order to accommodate your opinions of the way things should be, by eliminating all things that you do not approve of and adding to the things you do approve of. You are here to create the world around you that you choose, while you allow the world as others choose it to be to exist also. And while their choices in no way hinder your own choices, your attention to what they are choosing does affect your vibration, and therefore your own point of attraction.
