Hey guys,
Did you hear about the recent events?
I've never really had a special attachment to this world, I care about myself, and the world around me a lot more. But the world outside of my own? I don't usually care.
But things are starting to become worse in the world outside of mine, it scares me. The case of Brock Turner disgusts me to no end. It proves how much money matters in this world. Honestly, it scares me because I tend to think of the worst, and if something like this happens to me, I would... I wouldn't know what to do :/
Then, there's the death of Cristina Grimmie. I didn't really know her, but when I hear about someone so young dying, it hurts my heart. People die everyday, some people live right besides death, and yet, this shouldn't be what we are used to. It's not her talents that made her death tragic, it's her death that made it tragic. Human life is precious, even if you're not worth a lot money-wise, you only have that one life. Lose it, and it's over. Even if you believe in reincarnation like I do, you never relive the same life. Never throw away your life, and don't throw away someone else's.
Finally, there's the massacre at the gay parade. Why can't people accept that others are different? Why is it a sin to be gay? A sin to love another human, what a dumbass sin. What difference does it make in your life if someone is gay?
I wanted to be a game developer, to make my own world filled with light and hope. As stupid as that sounds, the world one can create in a video game can be so much more beautiful than the world we live in, and that is so tragic.
Are you guys satisfied with the world we live in? I believe we can make a chance. The moment most people understand to accept each other, we'll already be taking a step forward.
