I'm guilty of it as anyone. So no, I don't think I'm better than you.
There, now we got that disclaimer out of the way,
I read about the Boston Bombings like so many of you, through Facebook.
Within minutes of being told casualties, people immediately started putting up comparisons between the 500 and 300 killed in another part of the world yet not as much media coverage was being given, whereas 2/3 die and its a humongous deal.
Its unfair to make comparisons. I've done it. I'm unfair as well.
Every tragedy with fatalities shouldn't be belittled. In fact, every tragedy shouldn't be belittled.
Even if you lost your dog to old age, your goldfish to a your forgetfulness to add anti-chlorine, every tragedy is meaningful to each person's lens.
Every life is precious, every loss is felt.
People's life change, for better or for worse.
How the fuck can you be so insensitive to start comparing their tragedy to other people's?
How can you compare genocide to what happened here?
Should we be so numb, so cruel, so heartless to compare the worst things that happen in history, or the present and apply it to someone's present situation?
Every time someone blows up a bomb, kills innocent lives, we just go "oh well, at least it wasn't genocide right?"
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Let people wallow in their tragedies motherfucker.
Let them feel emotionally scarred and damaged.
Do not fucking belittle their problems!
Its not a numbers game and who wins because they have more!
ITS a fucking tragedy you motherfucking retard.
Even if it was just one person who died, thats a tragedy.
Every single day, every single hour, every single minute, every single second, a tragedy happens around the world.
A daughter is lost, a husband grieved for, a child dies before their time.
Every life is precious, every loss felt by the people who cared for them.
Shame on you for turning this into a numbers game.
Shame for you for belittling their tragedies.
I'm guilty of it as well. I feel shame. So fuck me. And fuck you.
