(no subject)
I knew I was going to get nagative feedback because of this post, but it didn't stop me from writing it because I personally don't feel it's worth allowing myself to be torn up about things that have no basis in my life whatsoever. It's a devastating thing that happened and I'm trully sorry for everyone's losses, but only for those who actually lost something from it. It's like I can't turn my back without someone else saying something else about it like it's the only thing that's going on in the world right now. I was more sharing my annoyance with *that* fact than anything else [although it may have been poorly done]
And when I talk about "natural selection", I *am* talking about acts of God. Maybe not always in such catastrophic proportions, but in my eyes God does decide when things like this need to happen, and other things that constitute who gets to live and who doesn't. So when it so happens that "natural selection" hits me personally a little too close to home [in cases like my aunt and my friend that's dying] I'm obviously going to let it effect me more because it's actually a part of my life. But no matter how upset I let it make me sometimes I never trully question God's motives or damn anyone else [but myself, on such irrational occassions] for it happening.
I also was not trying to say it didn't matter that it happened where it did because everyone there is "poor", and I think that was pretty obvious. I was trying my best to look at it on a worldly scale in terms of how much actual devastation is going to be done to the world by this happening. And on a scale of a few billion, a hundred thousand doesn't seem that grand.
In no way am I saying I have any type of disregaurd for human life, because if you know me at all you know that isn't the case. I was just trying to be objective.
