every time i read the news and learn about all the tragic ways in which peoples' lives end, it just makes me wonder: were these people brought into the world's existence just to be dreadfully taken away in such an unfortunate manner?
to think that they had all the hopes and dreams of every other person in this planet, making them no different from you or me, and then to have the last moments of their lives be filled with fear and terror is just so upsetting and sad...
Well said - and it is even worse when those lives are cut short fighting for power/objectives that are chosen by ruling parties and few in power.
ReplyDeleteVery well written, and I think about this sometimes. One of my favorite books of all time is "Heart of the Matter" by Emily Giffin, and the first chapter of the novel talks about this as well.
