Reflection comes with thought..

"How would you feel if you lived in Gaza - living in terror every-day?"

Touchy question. Death, blood, mutilation; it scares me. It makes my skin crawl, it makes my veins twist, it makes me cry. Whether it's from a movie, a story, a picture.. I honestly couldn't imagine living through it. All I would feel is lonesome and a black, unknown fear. I wouldn't function properly - I would be too afraid to run even if I knew that staying could kill me.

We live in tough times, my friends. If I was able to take a family, a child, a stranger.. If I could give them my house, my bread, my water. I would. I can't. Government and papers prevent this help; I don't speak their language. If they don't listen to the United States why would they listen to me? There is only hoping that the ceasefire comes soon and more innocent people don't die.

What are you doing right now? Are you enjoying a warm cup of coffee, are you surfing through the internet and chatting to friends on an instant messaging system, are you getting ready for school, dinner, watching TV? Imagine what some people your age are doing right now; in the middle east. Are you capable of putting yourself in their situation? I don't think I am.

Pain. Destruction. Grief. Violence. Hatred. War.. Sorrow. Mankind.

Who will make it stop. You, me, or Them?
