when does the comfort of distance begin to wear thin?
how is it that i am so upset by a fight down my street but remain calm when 31 and counting are lying dead in the next state?
what goes into feeling sadness for humanity? where do i draw the line? what about the countless acts of violence that occur every second?
do i mourn those beings?
how do i chose when a life of mourning and a life of self-focused isolation are not lives lived at all. middle path deserves a theme song so it can play everytime it is the answer. on loop, every minute.
i dont understand violence or the components that feed it. i am involved though..more deeply than i like to think.
