The World We're Living In

First of all, let me send my deepest condolences and prayer to Cory Monteith's family & friends. As a former gleek I bid you good bye Mr. Monteith, may you rest in peace.

it's been a gloomy day. I mean, I heard the news about Cory and even though I don't know him personally *obviously* but I watched Glee from season 1-3, Finn Hudson was a quirky, nice, adorkable character.. and I like him as Finn, so I was completely and utterly shock when I hear the news. It was sad for such a talented actor to passed away in such a young age.

And then I read the news about Zimmerman's verdict. The case of Treyvon Martin vs. George Zimmerman. They're both men of color, black and hispanic. I don't really know who's guilty who's not, for all I know they both shared some records. But a young man had died and now, the racial tension is high. What saddened me most is we're still living in the world with a lot of racial judgement. We saw black man on deserted alley and we prepare for the worst. We saw bunch of hispanic kids and we guess which gang they are in. We saw couple men in white tunic and long black beard and we think about terrorist. It just sad. It's 2013 for god's sake, the most powerful country on earth has a color president, can we step aside our differences, our color, our judgement for better living? Can we actually do that? I don't give a fuck if you're white, black, yellow, pink, green or blue, we're citizens, living together on this beautiful mother earth and we can't live alone, so please do it with harmony and without judgement.

And then, a friend posted a picture of dead elephant in Sumatra, Indonesia. The picture was very disturbing. The elephant was murdered by some men who wanted its tusk. It has been reported that a hundred elephants had died just because their tusks are worth something as cigarette holder. They said that in Sumatra, it is cool so smoke cigarette using elephant-tusked cigarette-holder, so some people hunted elephant for that. I mean how stupid is that? You killed an innocent animal just for being cool? HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT?

That's the world I'm living. It's sad. I'm living in chaotic world. It's been a gloomy day. I hope tomorrow will be better because I'm waiting here.. waiting for the world to change. Hopefully I can contribute some of that change.. to make a world a better living.

sad cheers,
