Congo's Children

My anger has exploded tonight. It boiled and burst. I lost it, and I rarely do. I cursed, and I yelled maniacally like a raging lion. And I rarely do. I lost it completely ( Read more... )

read william blake, robert de ropp, nietzsche, and da levy in relation to this. you might hate them, might like them, but they are all relevant.

sucks to be someone who is aware of what's going on, because really, sleep is so much easier and immediately rewarding. keep on keeping on mike.

that's fucked up. its scary to think about everything that's
fucking wrong in this world, and how much it is out of our grasp to
do anything about it. at least we can help fix problems that are closer to us like homelesness and your little brother.
you could have just called him fat.

The pain of such an image laughed at by the entitled world we live in touches me as well. *silent fist of support*
The Congo. What a dark jungle it has become since first we Europeans set to destroying it for our gain. And now they have learned to well from us, and do our work for us, inflicting pain upon their own selves. But while friends is on and dinner is hot, we pay no mind to those who suffer with every breath that we unknowingly take.
You are a warrior of God Micheal.

Amen sister.
Although I don't think it was fully European influence, I believe that all humans have the capacity for great good or great evil, no matter where they originate.

Hehe okay.

Where was le Mike today? Sick, skipping, fighting ninjas? The lovely Ms. Wojcik is back in chem, and we watched a video on fireworks. Yay for fire.
I do hope your anger has passed, or at least transformed into something productive.

sucks that it had to be at your brother, but it's good to let out your anger sometimes. I get hella pissed like that more than I should, usually because of people who complain about what's going on and know what's happening but choose to sit on their asses instead of actually doing something. It's one thing to be ignorant of what's happening, but I think a greater crime is to have knowledge and awareness and fail to act.

i know i am definetly ignorant in some sense, but i still understand your frustration with your brother. but to him everything most likely seems unreal and so faraway in the congo. even for me I sometimes have a hard time understanding the killing and human brutality that goes on outside of my sheltered and protected life.

many people have a tough time thinking about something other than what is going on directly in their lives.

i know its frustrating now but your brother will eventually wake up and realize there is more going on than Friends or his Xbox. i mean, there is no way he cant get away with staying ignorant with you as a brother. : D

anyway, i love you to DEATH mike. and im sry you got so upset.
