The world
For the last couple of months i have really been trying to read more news and be more involved in world. But how do it put into word the pain that comes from it, how do i stop myself from crying when i even think about it. Today in a span of 10 mintues I read two new articles. One where 11 kids have been locked in cages, and one who has slept in the cage for three years. Another article about two twin boys living in cages who live and sleep in their own feeces and these parents think they are protecting the kids.
I read another article about the chaos in the gaza strip. People rummaging through the dwelling of people who were kicked out thier houses. How can we justify any of this in our world and how can i justify my place in the world. I think i went through hard times, but how can i even imagine living in cages and being kicked out of the place that the endless years of back breaking work created. I read another article about how 2 teenage boys beat and killed a another transgendered teen whom the boys got involved with sexually not knowing that she was actually a He. I can't help to think that our world has lead people to first off have this primiscuous lifestyle and secondly lead people to think it was okay to beat and kill someone who you, yourself, choose to be involved with in the first place. I can't help to think that if those guys just learned to not act on thier sexual desires, they wouldn't have been in the situation in the first place. One of the last articles i read, i read about how we are training soilders in IRAQ so we can pull out our own soliders. But is that going to come back and bite us in the butt when we are fighting the same soilders we trained 5 years from now?
So how do we live in this world? I'm so overwhlemed by the horror arround us...the chaos around us. Sometimes i do think ignorance is bliss, because being ignornat doesn't make me feel this devestation. Yet i know that in a couple of hours i will continue my life as if I didn't know about the hurt, the abuse, and the chaos that goes on around me. I'll go on living in my bubble. And that makes me even more mad at myself that i can close that part of my brian off, yet it makes things better because i don't want to think about it.
