Stop the World
15th of June 2016
Since the turn of the century, a lot of catastrophes have happened. Whether it's the attacks on 9/11/2001 or shootings of all sorts, I have seen so much violence on the news that I just want the world to stop, so I can get off. Just like the song Extreme came out with a while back. That picure to the left is my front entry way lit up with police lights. It's not the first time I've been lit up with police lights. No, they were not after me. In this case, there was a fire a couple houses down on the other side of the street. Everyone made it out ok, but when I went outside, I heard one man yelling at his brother "I hope you die, fucker." His own brother. I have said some regretful things to my brother and sister, but I never wished death upon them. In fact, I don't want them to die (yes, I know they will someday).
I will never understand the purpose of harming others. I'm going to try not to be so preachy, but it's going to be hard not to do that. My basic point is that I've lost all faith in humanity. I've lost it because of the recent mass shooting in Orlando at a gay club. I've lost it because people really think Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will make a great president. I've lost it because instead of recognizing loss, people pass blame. "Well, it wouldn't have happened if you didn't ...." I hate that.
I'm convinced that nobody wants a better world. All I see are protest signs that turn into weapons. There's a lot of hate in this world, and I don't see it going away. I thought it was getting better, but I've noticed in the last few years, it settled down at best and flared back up. In this day in age, nobody wants to listen, but man, do they want to be heard? Somedays, I just want to be deaf and blind.
