I am procrastinating on things that I should be doing because I just feel like I have some things to say.
When the events occurred on 911, I was young. I remember being in my 4th period Algebra class. My teacher, Mr. Fatout. Not many people can forget where they were that very day. Just in the same way that not many people can forget where they were the day Kennedy was shot, or the day Princess Diana was killed. Although I was young, I knew I wouldn't encounter monstrous acts like that often, and that was somewhat comforting.
I don't know if it is because I am older and I pay closer attention, or because they publicly televise things at a much greater rate than they used to, but does it not seem as though these things are becoming much to common in the most unbelievable places? Is it safe anymore to go to the movies, to go to work, to run a marathon, to be a young child in class? Where can you be safe if you can't be safe at home, you can't be safe in the world you create for yourself?
These tragedies happen far too often in other countries, and although they are far away places outside of our mind and space, we still pity those people when we hear such tragedies. Now, they are hitting closer to home and I hope everyone opens their eyes and see's that these things can no longer be ignored. Especially when they happening in your own backyard.
Why is it that people can go on the internet to find out how to make a bomb out of household items??
Did it really have to be another mass tragedy where another innocent child is killed and where innocent people who worked hard to get where they were now have loss limbs and psychological fear for the rest of their lives?
I am at a loss of words for humanity, and can only thrive on what I am for my species.
I pray for you little one...
