The Human Story


Tell me if you know, because I have no idea, how does it feel to live in constant terror. In fear of dyeing or possibly losing the ones you hold dearest and everything that you have worked to create. Life as you know is gone, reduced to rubble by a man made killing machine. How does it feel like to be lonely and helpless in a world with all the strength but will to come to your aid. Yes the Middle east crisis is the latest media juice but its not the only violence that has erupted. Then there's the media that is calling it WWIII... Which I think is just more fear mongering; They just continue to do their part in escalating every single situation. You know what will be a good remedy to war, if the media broadcasted all the footage of death and destruction and stop censoring war. You sent your children to Iraq and Afghanistan and you're supporting Israel then I believe they should see everything they are supporting. You voted for the death of others and now they have to live the devastating reality that is war, the least you can do is face what you gave way to. Its just frustrating that people will even try to justify injustice and its especially frustrating that people believe evil is as simple as a anthem and an opposing flag. People are people and God created you the same way he created them and you should know they have the same needs as fellow human beings. Politics is covering up the human story of emotions, needs, and life and death. If you choose to affirm life and sympathize despite cultural divides then I believe there could be some hope for us yet.
