The state of us
Thursday, January 26th, 2006I might have gotten a little too used to seeing people slashing and bombarding each other to bits and pieces. Was listening to the usual 8 o’clock bulletin, being served with usual course of suicide bombings and robberies etc. When it got to the part where they show highlights of the happenings around the world, I was expecting the usual stuff - more people mauling each other to death. I was shocked to find myself actually breathing a sigh of relief upon hearing news of people dying in a fire. I mean, finally, a death not through explosives or knives. It was spontaneous.
This is the state that we’ve gotten into. Where life is just another cracker in the mouth, another note in a melody; commonplace, and of no value.
I still remember reading the Bible Code some years ago, sometime after the 9-11 incident. It predicted the end of the world at 2006. Mrs Feng Shui Lilian Too predicted 2006 to be a bad year. Tsunamis had almost doubled over the last century. Seems truer every day. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
When it’s not natural disasters and suicide bombings, it’s people dumping shit from their factories into any damned place that they find convenient, making the whole area stink of their crap. Frankly, they should try dumping ammonia at their own backyards and see what it’s like before they blissfully roll the rusting drums over to someone else’s. Get a load of stinkin’, stingin’ urine stench all over their houses.
And those of you who shave trees off hills like there was no tomorrow? Keep it up; soon enough all of us will be choking on carbon dioxide, asphyxiate, and die.
OK, I’m just sulky because my character in MapleStory died.
