I just had a quote on quote mid life crisis... Though I am only 14 and am not in my middle years this mid life crisis is symbolic of a mental deterioration

With all mid life crisises the person suddenly finds their life meaningless worthless or otherwise incapacitated.

This crisis stemmed from watching the movie Hotel Rwanda...which is basically the african version of the holocaust except the allies (britain, US, France and those countries) are trying to force the UN to remove all peacekeeping forces and leave them to die.

The story is filled with blood, horror and tragedy and the worst part is it really happened.

One line in the movie hit me really hard and that scene was so:
"How could they ignore us once they see this gruesome footage?"
"Well they will watch it, feel bad and go back to eating their dinner"

This line made me want to lie on the floor and spew my guts out. I felt so sickened with myself because I knew that for the most part it was true. Oh sure there are truly noble people in these countries but can I really count myself amng them? Can I have the audacity to think I am as selfless as a mother Theresa?

I feel extremely horrible right about now. Even talking about it does not make me feel better about myself. I feel like this the moment in my life that will make me a selfless person or make me so self-centered I wont care.

Please dont give sarcastic comments, thanks for reading!
