This whole planet lives with killing and death everyday. Its a part of our very existence.
Killings in war.
Killings in crime.
Killings in animal slaughter for our food.
Death in accidents.
Death because of defective products.
etc. etc. etc.
Killing and death are all around us. Some people get to die peacefully, some get to die without even knowing what happened, some unfortunately get to die in pain and suffering.
We are an inhumane people. Let's face it.
There are children dying from not eating right now. Millions of them. Are we focusing our resources to help them? Nope. Animals being farmed, transported and slaughtered under horrific and barbaric conditions. Don't see too many people complaining on that front. Everyone just wants to be able to see their nicely packaged foods at the supermarket and don't want to know how it got there. Everyday our soldiers are getting killed. Does anyone really take it to heart after you see the same story everyday? Nope.
After being on this planet 46 years I've come to the conclusion its not really that great of a place to call home. I'm truly hoping there is an afterlife, and wherever and in whatever form that is it can't be any worse than the shit we do to each other here, and like most folks believe it will be a more peaceful and loving dimension.
We only get about 900 months of life on average. Its not much time when you think about that and put it in perspective. Death will come to each of our doorsteps. The men that killed those Iraqi's will die themselves, maybe in battle, maybe by old age. But we all die. Its not a pleasant thought in any of its means.
