seeing as everyone had written something or other about terrorism, i think i shall say something too. i don't read the news much, neither do i watch the news much, but the russian thing was pretty big, and it caught my attention. the details that i know are sketchy and i wouldn't comment on who's wrong and who's right in the picture. i briefly walked passed the televeision one night when my dad was watching the news. and what i heard made me stop.
"i have a sister dead, and another is hospital dying. how do i feel? do you hear those people crying? that's how i feel."
it was a boy, a few years older than i am. then i started to think. what'll happen if i was in that position? someone i know, loved, and cherished had died, just because another person felt like today was a good day for killing people? i had always taken relationships very seriously, and now come to think of it, losing someone, hurt. it's like a knife wrenched into your very being and wegding a chunk out. what happened if my family got hurt? thinking of that made me feel very bad of being mean to my family members. what if slamd got hurt? i don't even want to go there. so many good memories i shared with slamd, having them gone is like having my limbs taken from me. i just can't do without them.
it's sad really, to see so many innocent dying. innocent that had a bright future laid out for them, with so much potential, and yet taken away by the cruel hands of the terrorist. i cannnot fathom what the terrorists think of all this. do they think that what they're doing is heroic? is good? is just? do they even have a heart and a consceince? i feel shamed, to say the very least, that fellow human beings, mankind, can bare such evil amongst them.
Pax melior est quam iustissimum bellum.
Peace is better that the most just war.
