truth
-“he was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear. But so long as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken” (page 27)
I kind of feel like Winston here, in 1984. i also feel like this represents a lot of my live journal entries.
i wish people actually listened to what i have to say and actually do something when i share articles on darfur or vietnam but of course not. no one even reads it, but at least i have said it, so i can not be blaimed for the same thing.
i'm not someone who does tons of volunteer work, and i can be selfish, but i don't ignore things like most people do. i wish people would stop ignoring things.
i was thinking today at lunch, how i guess i was sort of hungry but like really, its nothing. we don't know what hunger is. we don't think about the people who haven't eaten for days when we complain about being hungry at lunch. and you can't think about it all the time but even if you don't at least try to help? or stop complaining.
i don't know there are tons of other things too. just every once in a while someone listen and think and take action.
