read the title. no more bullshit.
you want real emotion? you want a serious post?
by that, i mean read this.
i'm not making this to make you cry. think of it as a wakeup call.
so, here i was listening to some music on my comp, the kind that just makes you wanna think... i was trying to make a list of the songs that touched me the most - songs that i would want to cover and affect others as it did me...
then i went through this collection of pics i've kept - these pics are taken by photographers across the world (mostly associate press photographers): during wars, tragedies, accidents, births, celebrations, riots...
you know what...
forget it.
words don't suffice.
pictures are worth... whatever, see for yourself.
the words can't even begin to describe how it feels to look at these pics, even if some took place long ago, and to just sit here, staring into my computer screen in an attempt to avoid doing any work - to be here, safe, limbs intact, breathing, with all of my family downstairs... alive. and to think they are millions of pictures like these... archives of this going back... and this happens everyday. yeah we know people are dying left and right, getting sick, murdered, tortured, falling in love, finding love, doing something, doing nothing... just living.
you know where this was headed...
but... i'm not about to make some profound statement.
you will feel whatever it is you feel.
i can't make you do anything.
just think about the world that you know and then open your eyes.
embrace what you have - those you love and those that love you.
thats all we can hope for.
all my love,
kris
