The tragedy of not knowing
9 years ago
I don't understand, why hate is still acceptable.
Journals like this shouldn't be as often or as regular as they have been.
People with friends or family should not be left wondering for days whether their loved ones were counted among the fallen.
There shouldn't be a reason for this to be posted at all, yet time and time again the tragedy caused by hatred, any kind of hatred, has proven to be more contribution to unnecessary death, than anything else in recent memory.
I shouldn't be having panic attacks, calling every number of every person in my phone living in an area that was affected by a hate crime.
I shouldn't be living in fear that, in a place openly accepting of others whom don't fit the societal norm, such an event could easily happen here.
To my siblings, to my cousins, my Uncle/Aunt... my family.
There's no reason, whatsoever, that this should be happening.
There should be solidarity in the communities, support for more than the tragedies.
We should NOT be making a move, acting, and using the aftermath of violence as an excuse to be human.
What happened?
What made humanity suddenly inhuman?
Why is this still happening?!
Why!?
