Death and Destruction
There have been so many incidents recently that have forced me to think about this world with a different view. Why did these things happen, The hurricane, the stampede at the bridge in Iraq and mostly the everyday killings that go on in the world. People are increasingly growing indifferent to these things. The very animalistic nature is coming to the surface, I mean look at the storm in NO. People at the superdome not only became chaotic but they started to rape people. What the F*** people. I can understand that you have nothing to eat or drink. I am going to go as far as to pick up a gun and maybe shoot someone (you can try to justify it under the Mayor's words to fend for yourself), but rape I mean that is a purely savagery.
Then there is the incident in Iraq, and agreed that it maybe due to some fault in the amount of people gathering there, but I am increasingly beginning to think that there may be an intelligent design to all this. Like there is something who wants us to realize, sort of like a wake up call. But then I think if this was a wake up call what could it be for. You know, wake up calls are for people who have a destination, a meeting, or something to get to, or they have something to do. But we as human beings tend to confuse these distintions. Even if we take these signs as something of a herald to action we act in OUR best interest. So in the end the wake up call ends up being only a call to selfishness (for the most part, I know there are people in this world that are innatley good, but it still doesn't hide the fact the ugly face of humanity nowadays).
Its mass confusion. There is absolutely no semblance to anything anymore. Everything seems so remote and so far off center (if there ever was one) that we can't get back there, instead we are trying to find a new reality, some new center, but as soon as we find it, we are lost again and we start another search. We are increasingly becoming reactionists. We try to react to each and everything that comes our way. Sadly this may very well be the cause of our being off center but we can't be sure and I think we never will be.
Alas, there is an entire world and its going to kill itself if we can't stop ourselves.
