rough times

This year I have had a lot go wrong, On the 10th of this month there was another death. Not only this, but A good friend lost his grandfather, my mother had surgery, and so did my younger brother. Then yesterday there was a school shooting at a elementary school Sandy Hook yesterday and a Newton School today.

There has been a lot of pain this year. And I wish no more pain upon others.

In light of these shootings and my friends murder something needs to be done, to make the world a safer place. It is very sad how much harm our species causes whether it be due to religious differences, political differences, and racial differences as well as all the destruction we have caused to creatures habitats or to ecosystems around the globe. As a species we need to start looking past our petty differences. I am not saying that there not people doing this already, and I am not directing towards anyone at all, but at our species as a whole. We need to protect what we have, keep what is here alive and advance ourselves without harming the world or members of our species. There was no reason justifiable for these children, teachers, and parents to die, and there was no reason for my friend to be stabbed.

We were all born here and we should all be able to live here without people suffering. Can't we all just get along and live long healthy lives? Letting those that choose grow up and produce offspring  and those that choose not to, to not. Letting those of any difference be as different as they want as long as they don't step on the rights of others.

With all this going on, the stress of my semester seems petty and worthless. All those sleepless nights, all those 36, 48, and weeks of varying hours greater than 30 hours, and the one 66 hour days. I wish I had more time to give to the world and hope to make things better for varying reasons. I do what I can to help others out, when I can. I wish I had more time to give.
