The Unknown

    When I check the audience stats and notice that there are 3 pageviews or so, it makes my day. Really! I mean I know it isn't much as many blogs are popular, but hey it is good for a start, and I'm going to be optimistic about something for a change.
    Anyways, I want to talk about death a bit because an incident happened today, a tragedy that we became used to. I realize that it isn't a pleasant topic, but I have to put it out. This world has became so corrupted that human lives are being toyed with constantly. Just like that, people are murdered daily to satisfy someone's plan, political view, or the stupidest of reasons. It's souls we are talking about, individuals and lives, not any asset that should be disposed when necessary! We people must wake up and fix the world. You may call me a dreamer for saying that, you will say what a stupid individual who still believes that this can be even fixed. Well, thinking the opposite won't take us to the destined peaceful world, it sure won't. And when we believe in anything, we can make it happen. This reminds me of our English professor. Back in high school we used to ask for permission to leave the class, and we used to say: "Mr. X can we ...". He used to say: " never say can, because you always can, instead say may". So we can do anything we want when we set our minds and souls to it, as simple as that.
    Sometimes when people die, others laugh at such death. It definitely shouldn't be that way. You see death should be respected no matter what. Even if we hated the person who passed away, even if that person made our lives hell, and even if we wished him/her dead, we must respect their death. For the sake of the tiny bit of humanity that's left out there, for the sake of his loved ones, and for the sake of life. Someday, we are going to be in that situation, either loose someone dear or we'll pass away as meant to happen. So we are bound to respect the unknown at any cost. When I see people crying in real life or in a movie, I cry and I mourn with them because I feel them and I sympathize with them. If everybody acted that way, we would be in a far better place. But there's always a yin to a yang, and evil lies everywhere. 
    I took it too far I guess, but "dreaming" about such world isn't a forbidden thing yet,and I just wanted to voice it out. The tiny bit of faith I have in such world is fading daily. This talk about death reminds me of the Deathly Hallows' story that I adore.
We should respect life in order to be able to respect death. And Life of Pi movie and book (so much better than the movie) have interesting beautiful ideas about life.
"Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud..."
