Harsh.

Yet hilarious.

But ultimately depressing.

That would be hilariously ironic were it not so tragic.

This just depresses the hell out of me.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Yeah...it would be funny as a joke in a black-comedy...

It's not really funny when it's actually happened...but then, most things on TV have happened worse than ever depicted at some time or another

I never had faith in people, so this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Words cannot express this sadness. Somewhere in the world I am sure that there is good, but the tragedies weigh down upon my soul.

Dang...what a depressing thing to read on a Sunday morning. Especially eerie since I've been to a wedding yesterday. My dad's sister got married.

I just lost any faith I had in the minute segment of humanity directly responsible for her murder.

In other words, one person. Out of six billion. I can bear to lose that much faith once in a while. It's fiddling small change to me.

Glad to hear it, Octan. Losing faith in humanity as a whole should be reserved for when lots and lots of people do something you consider stupid or rotten.

Of course, that happens all the time....

It's time for another "(Good Idea Bad Idea)"


(good idea)

Having faith in humanity.



(bad idea)

Expressing it by going hitch-hiking in the Middle East.



The End.............

…

Is it bad that I laughed at anthony's comment?

And, while this is tragic, I'm not surprised in the slightest. If she'd made it, I'd have been surprised.
