Everyone who prays, please do so for Nikki. She just got to London yesterday (for a study abroad program), and for those of you who haven't heard, London went under some vicious terrorist attacks yesterday. Nikki was right in the middle of it all. I love her so much, and I don't know what I would do if something happened to her. Please keep her in your prayers that she comes homes safely.
9/11 really made me think, but it didn't affect me or anyone I love and care about personally. I was like most Americans in that I went through every emotion imaginable that day and months after September 11th. This, however, has hit me much harder. I could kill someone if she got hurt in some way. There was a mere hour difference from the time she got off of the train and the time the attacks occured. More and more lately, I've come to the realization that there are a lot of people who are nothing but utter and complete shit.
And then I step back...
Forty-five innocent people died yesterday. A senseless tragedy, meant only to bring grief, pain, and to "make a statement." What are they fucking trying to prove, and to whom are they fucking trying to prove it? Certainly not to those 45 people. Do they feel no remorse for their actions? Do they actually buy that trash, that their so-called "God" would have them take the lives of mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, friends, cousins, grandparents, loved ones, and innocent fucking children, for God's sake? I say "take" because in all honesty, that's all they're doing--saying they have the authority to hold the life of someone they've never met and decide that their "cause" is worth the expense of their life. Whose right (other than God) is it to make such a decision? And if their "God" truely exists, wouldn't he be able to take care of such a thing himself? WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY? Really, who the fuck are they? I'm filled with an enormous amount of hatred, and it has just come so suddenly. I can feel it consume me to the point to tears, and I don't know when or how I could release it. I guess Nikki isn't the only one who needs prayer.
