I often find that when I blitch and blitch and blitch it get a lot of ish off my chest, but the recent tragedy that befell J.Hud had me thinking. I am in a prestigious university and I can barely make my tuition fee payments and yet in perspective I am better off than her (seeing as I wasn't given a raise and the bank that was funding my tertiary loan went under)...the loss of family is always bad, but to lose them in that way is even sadder.
Then there's the fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in this day and age...I fear people will sit up and take notice a decade from now like they did the Rwandan genocide.
Another sad story is that of a Somali rape victim who was stoned to death, or the albinos in Tanzania who are victims of witchcraft and all sorts of madness. I realise at times like these that, well, I may not have what I want or be where I want to be, but thank God I am not there.
Gotta go, I have a mid term to study for and assignments to finish.
