Some days I’m too emotionally exhausted and mentally weak to
write about what’s going on in this world.
I’m so overcome with emotion that I can’t find the right
words to describe how I feel.
Today, or rather these past few days since the Orlando
Shooting I’ve been feeling like this.
When I finally gathered enough strength to write, I stopped,
mostly because I wasn’t ready to deal with the usual banter the conversation
comes with. And more than anything I wanted to avoid the hate filled comments
on my wall like I’d seen else where.
I just don’t know how you can fight for human rights and
fight against the discrimination of an entire race yet think it ok to opress
and call for the death of others for being as “different” as others see you?
How can there be so many religious gatherings nearly each
day promoting love and peace, and yet have so many people filled with hate in
the world.
How?
When did we become so filled with hate?
When did we lose our humanity?
What happened to make us so angry at the world?
I need answers.
Thankfully I found a post on Facebook from a good friend
that sums up nearly half of my thoughts on this matter.
We cannot coexist.
We cannot tolerate.
That’s where the
world is at now.
We cannot coexist.
We cannot tolerate. That’s where the world is at now. We are individuals ;each
with our own sets of beliefs but those personal and (or) religious beliefs do
not make it ok to kill other people. If you cannot tolerate it, move as far
away from it as possible but do not kill others.
What has been
achieved by the killings? You cannot kill everyone whose beliefs or actions
differ from yours! You just cannot. I am sorry for all who lose/have lost their
lives just because they did not fit into someone else’s beliefs. So sorry.
Religious texts preach tolerance.
We parade “judgement
day”, so who appointed people judges and executioners? If you do thuis, isn’t
that usurping God’s powers? Are you not disobeying his “thou shalt not kill”?
Hypocrites, liars, cowards. I never can understand these especially when the
perpetrators kill themselves afterwards?
If you were going to
kill yourself, why kill others too? Coz if you “go”, then you would be free
from work hat you do not want to witness.
Here’s the thing, like it or not we’re all different one way
or the other, no two human beings are ever going to agree on absolutely
everything.
We’re separated by race, ethnicity, reglion, country,
language, etc.
So if for any reason you can’t tolerate this diverse world
we live in and think killing people off will solve your problems, then you’re
totally off track.
Because you can’t change the world, the only thing you
should be trying to change is how to live in this great big world you find
yourself; it’s the only thing that will remain constant even after you seize to
exist.
