poor kid

I've been spending a lot of time thinking about life today..

This morning a kid of around 10 years old was hit by a truck... in my street! :unsure:
Even tough I didn't even know the kid, I got really upset, and it got me thinking

People live their life, and they live it whitout standing still.
there is so mutch destruction and violance in this world, we see it on the news and hear it on the readio every day.
But that doesn't make us aware of the violance, IT MAKES US USED TO IT! :( (=> bloody cute santa hat that refuses to express my feelings)
People don't realise it untill they are confronted with it..

not one, but four lives where lost in my street this morning
the kid itself, both the parents that will be traumated for life, and the truck-driver.
He will probably be blamed for it, but it was probably an accident..
I'm just saying, could you ever forgive yourself for killing a kid, and leaving the parents without him? I know I wouldn't..
And then to think, that during war, this same thing happens hunderds of time A DAY! ...

*so far for my sad day...*

Gotta stay positive, mayne.
I don't wanna go the "it's fate" route,
but if you keep on thinking about things like that,
you're gonna end up losing another life too - yours.

Lot's of bad shit happens to good people all the time and you're right, we have become used to it. The real problem though is most people are too self-centered to actually care. For most it's a case of "It's not happening to me so why should I care".

The only way to make things better is to get out there and do things that make you feel better about it. Ever heard of The Random Act of Kindness Movement? Make yourself feel better by going out of your way to do good things for people, then when they say thank you tell them the best way to thank you is to do the same for someone else and pass on the RAK message. Get out there and be a social mnkey!

I am either a sociopath, or too well adjusted to let things like that bother me. I try NOT to take too much advantage of life on a daily basis, but I also try not to let things worry me that I cant change.

Yeah, tragedy is all around us... And it isn't until it happens somewhere close (physically or emotionally) that we seem to notice it.

My boyfriend lost his cousin a few years ago. He died behind the wheel because he lost control of his car.
So many people were affected by this, friends and family in particular.
I know for a fact that their family will never be the same again. It is so heart-breaking.

We might not be able to do anything about a lot of the stuff happening in this world.
But I think the important thing is to appreciate your own life, and the life of the people around you.
As cliché as this may sound, we all need to stop taking things for granted, before it is too late.

Everytime I think about the past where my grandpa passed away, I get kind of sad. It's not only for the fact that he passed away.

There's quite a long story to it. It makes me regret a few things. I'll explain one thing though. There is one thing that he did that really motivates me. He knew he was dying, but, he also knew my uncles and aunts (his son and daughters), are coming back on a plane just to see him before its too late. He's been holding on the same breath until he got to see them. The very next day.. not even the next day, just a few hours later (in earl morning), he passed away when he finally got to see each of his family members.

He was just waiting for them to come back before he would let go. It's sad but very motivating to me because its amazing how he can expand his life because of one will.

violence and conflict are human nature, perhaps the nature of sentience its very self. The only way to eliminate violence would be to eliminate the human race.

and think, if one could not experience hate and sorrow, how would you know what love and joy feels like?
