The "______" inside... I think I found it.
I just finished watching The Kingdom…a war movie basically outlining the ongoing war effort, happening right now as I type this blog. Right now my head is a mess and I have too many thoughts to possibly put down on paper.
Minutes before the movie ended, I found myself crying…about this war. It continued for quite some time after the movie had finished…an incredible hurt from the inside…it all seemed so clear, the pain so vivid, of families mourning their dead, families forever changed, sons and daughters watching their mothers and father being killed. There are husbands and wives struggling to sleep through the night… parents outliving their children. And not just for the “good guys”…but for everyone who has lost someone they loved due to these circumstances.
Everyday, for years…being bombarded with this war…the news, the pictures, the propaganda…Realizing that it was rotting me to the core…making me miserable inside. Disgusted with myself for dismissing the real picture, the fact that WE as people are killing one another, brothers and sisters…no matter the race, religion…I feel for those who would even want to kill me if I were to step foot on their motherland…they too, suffer loss.
I don’t care about who is wrong or right, I don’t even know what the fu@k is going on “over there” anymore. All I know is that people are dying, people like you and I…people that love their children, love their families… people that would do anything to ensure that their loved ones have the best life possible. Think, for second…how many kids have been slaughtered, really think about that….think of something you love, full of life….lifeless, now a lump of tattered skin and blood that you cant even physically hold.
Well that is what we have done, and will continue to do…til everyone just snaps out of it. The real picture, we are ending one another’s lives.
It so easy to go to war, its so easy to GET the bad guys…not taking into consideration the innocents that suffer the most, no matter what side their on. We all suffer loss.
If a bad man, killed your child…you would be filled with hate, and you would probably want to kill that man; but answer me this, if you could have that mans child in front of you…would you pull the trigger.
I know I couldn’t … so why is it that we do this to each other now.
