Today was nice. My Mom took me to the mall. I got two pairs of capris and sandals.
I'll be returning them all tomorrow.
It's been a very humbling day. When my Mom and I were driving home, Snow Patrol's "Chocolate" was on the radio. It was so weird because I know the song, but I don't know the word's b heart. All the sudden, I started singing along perfectly with it. Insanity, I know.
Then tonight we watched "Hotel Rwanda." That was the most depressing, grounding, scary, amazing, eerie films I have ever seen. It made me realize, how many things we don't learn in Social Studies.
It's almost as if, if it doesn't concern America, then why should we care? It scares me to think how there are people who really cannot be blamed for their ignorance. Not knowing about the world around them isn't neccesarily their fault. Although, it kind of is. Whatever.
The movie got me thinking. I am always so angry and bewildered by the politics of the U.S., but now I am just shocked by the politics of people in general. How, in Africa, their are massacres with people going around killing children with machetes. How human life seems to have no value in these places.
It scares me, and I feel guilty. How do I deserve to be a free person living in a democratic society when their are others born into poverty and war?
