I saw a video someone shared of a small child, a toddler, that was dirty and bloody and calm but crying out at times. She was a casualty of war in the hospital. Which one doesn't matter. A man was there with her and he wasn't much better off. It was only 25 seconds long. I watched it many times. I cried and I cried and I cried. I reposted it and said
“STOP IT!”
I mean, WHAT THE FUCK!?
I'm not done crying yet
I mean why are we doing this to our children? Why are we allowing this to be done to our children? Why are we tolerating this? I'm fucking sick of tolerating this shit. Aren't you!?
I used to believe that every conflict every clashing idea or philosophy could be solved without violence. As I get older I see that as a naive point of view. Melting pots and diversity can be great, but there are some people/ideas I don't want to ever tolerate or co-exist with. I'm sure others feel the same about me and that's okay.
