i am not easily fazed
having grown up with tv and the internet - i have graduated from naive to straight up oblivious to this world
i find much to be blase - i've seen and experienced carazay shit and shrugged off more than a lot, which is an alarming amount
until today
i cannot comprehend the depth of my reaction
seth sends me links to weird photos, videos, all the time
so when i get one titled 'witches burned alive in kenya' i'm all whatever and click on it
and i see
people, several
burned alive
kicked, beaten, stabbed, in FLAMES
what did i expect? really.....
i had had a bad day but nothing could have prepared me for my reaction
knowing that during the height of witch burning and ducking in europe and america.
i would have been the one in flames
i cannot even begin to comprehend the escalation of physical, emotional, and psychological torture
and the breaking point
i do no practice voodoo but i've seen more spells work than not. i don't believe in a god, i am closest to pan[a]theist if anyone wants to pigeonhole me. oh the anger i have faced, trying to assert my lack of belief in the spiritual system.
my actions are NOT inconsequential. i do not feel right bitching about this morning's anxiety attack when there are PEOPLE BEING BURNED ALIVE AND LYNCHED AS I WRITE THIS? fuck 'well it's out of my control so whatever, there's nothing i can do'. fuck.that. this is not ancient history. this is happening, right fucking now.
i will not be the one sitting around if i can help it.
fuck
the
world
i cannot even begin to tell you how displeased i am in the human race, and most of all in my selves.
enjoy your easter ham.
