ok, those of you who know me probably think that i am the most pesemistic person in the world, you know the one that always thinks the glass is half empty and the sun never shines. but today i cried. i actually cried.
woke up around 12.30 this afternoon, got my cornflakes and sat down in front of the tv, just setting into my daily 5 hour marathon on sky news. neways it came up as a breaking news flash, 2 suicide bombers in moscow, 16 people dead if not more, dozens injured, physically and emotionally. it was at a rock concert and the people went there for a good time and now some of them are dead.
then i got sick of that doom and gloom so i went outside to read the paper (now i say read but really all it was was a quick scance through the headlines and pictures). it was the examiner, some where near the center, far away from the front page was a picture of a shite muslim mosque after a bomb went off. there were bodies everywhere, pools of blood on the floor and blood covering the walls. in the center was 2 men, they were hugging eachother in support, one had his back to the camera and the other had his face to it, the anguish, pain, suffering and shock on his face made me cry.
we read and see reports of attrocities in the newspapers and on tv every day. has anyone remembered what happened in the moscow theater last year or the kursk tragedy. does anyone in the world give two shi*s about what is happening in africa, not just aids but the most unbelievable bloody and brutal civil wars. what about mugabe, do any of us actually give a dam. what about the hostility closer to home, come the 12th of this month northern ireland will be a hot bed of secterain bigots (republican and loyalist). what about colombine, or does anyone know that last week a student in germany did the same thing but luckily only 1 person died, himself. september the 11th and its aftermath, guantamano bay. needless and bloody wars in afghanistan (poorest country in the world) and iraq (where is the wmd). there is so much pain in the world, so much violence and suffering at the hands of men.
i love humanity, i just hate people.
