weeks to come and go.






Its been so long since I've sat down and thought about just everything around me again. And its wierd, when you sit in silence look at pictures of the world, the news, or anything, it seems to mean more then if there is someone explaining these pictures to you as you see them. The world is getting crazier every year. Worse? Not exactly, its always been bad, its just with new technologies, we see more of the world then we ever have before, and finally people are starting to realize that the world is not safe as it looks. I've heard the stories of the shooter in Virginia. It makes me wonder about the theory that a silent person has so much to say. If you see or have met a somewhat silent person in your life you never think that they might be a serial killer or a genius you just think they are weird or don't like to talk. I also wonder why has this generation seen so much despair and war, so much that everyone young person you talk to you in unaffected by the fact that war might be dangerous and that people die everyday in Iraq. My question is, will my children know what it truly means to have a person die? What will they think of us in the future? If things get better then they will read about how we were and realize that something wasn't right, that the world we were living in was giving us too much pressure and we all just snapped. But if things get worse in the future? I just hope that one day, we all have to realize we all take death so lightly. We see it everyday now, Iraq, Virginia Tech, other school shootings, everything you see around you is death and death and death, there is no stopping the media from numbing the idea into your head. Until of course it hits close to home, by then we can only realize what has been going on. To tell you the truth I am scared as to what the future will hold for us if we keep doing what we are doing in this world. But of course everything happens for a reason, holocausts, civil wars, war, people killing other people, it just disgusts me to see people dying over other peoples problems...
