an elderly, elderly man, who should've been living comfortably in a house if not grandly then modestly but whose house got taken away by the debt of corporations, protesting and joining the movement the hundreds of thousands of millions of voices marching and walking and camping on the current streets. a father, deployed to a war that shouldn't have happened that should've stopped long ago, just came back, and just saw his tiny daughter of 3 weeks for the first time.
there's so many things not right with the world, i don't know where to start.
am i just concentrating on the wrong things? do i just need another pair of eyes of perspective? do i just need to find a way on how to productively cope with the realizations streaming through and over and over my brain so i can actually start and do something about everything that i'm seeing and not just continue on my merry way without a care in the world? how can i continue on my merry way when all of these things are happening? how can i help?
...yeah i just need to figure this out. which is rich, coming from me, because i haven't even figured my life out yet. i wish my old formula of just winging it and seeing how it goes is still applicable; everything seems to just fall into place, especially in hindsight, and it always seems like i've always traveled through life held aloft on the shoulders of the people around me. but now i realize: that was a privelege. how loving and supportive my family is, how i've never wanted for anything, how i grew up in a developing country and still got all the necessities and more, how i saw and lived among the poverty but was really never directly-directly touched by it. how i was able to migrate to a developed country and saw the vastness of the amounts of luxuries and food, and how i was given the mind and was taught the thought of putting these two together, side by side, and realizing this isn't right. there's a huge discrepancy here. how i'm able to surf online and stumble upon tumblr and have access to all these information and things and happenings and put them together and link them and realize this isn't right. there's so many things not right. how i'm able to (still) attend college and even through loads of student loans and debts i have parents who support me still and who promise to support me until i can have a job that will enable me to support myself. how i can see the world slowly tilting crashing down and still be apparently relatively untouched by it. how i can be in a position to stop this because i haven't lost much, i hardly have lost anything, but i realize i will lose all of it everything if i don't stand for this, right now, this moment, with everything in me and any little thing that i can do (because i can 'spam' and link and spread information like wildfire through what social media channels i have which isn't much considering the vastness of the internet but which i hope is enough, at least for my level)
...ok wow so many hang ups xD;;; sorry i had to let all that out. that isn't even the whole issue but that will have to do for tonight
