The Occasional Blogger

My therapeutic blog into my world of thoughts, emotions, experiences, and ideas as I explore the hows and whys of life and other general blabber. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

Enough's Enough

As I lay my son to sleep this evening, I was overwhelmed with guilt.

I thought of all the mothers in Lebanon who have lost their children and will never be able to lay their children to sleep again. I thought of the children who lost their mothers and will never feel the warmth and security of their mothers’ arms again. I thought of all the families that no longer had homes or beds to lay in. The innocent people in Lebanon whose homes are in ruins, whose children have been massacred, whose fathers have been slain. The people who have had no say or no choice in this sick power-trip.

I thought of the children that lay in graves or hospital beds when they should be in schools or playgrounds. The mothers whose eyes should be filled with joy and pride, but have been filled with tears and sorrow instead. I thought of how their lives were raped from security. I thought of their futures that had been robbed. I thought of the families that had been torn apart.

I thought of the sick bastards that didn’t think twice about the innocent souls taken, the lives they did not hesitate to gamble with, their happiness that has now been irreversibly destroyed.

I hope that God has reserved a special place for them in hell to burn for eternity. Both Israel and Hezbollah. I cannot understand or accept any excuse that would justify any of this. We live in the age of technology, of advancement, of communication, yet people are being massacred. I cannot begin to comprehend any of this.

I wish the U. N. would stop talking about it and somehow forcefully, through threats, put a stop to this now.

I really want to donate money to the people who have lost their homes or need medical care, but I’m not sure how. I want to do it through someway that is guaranteed to be neither through the MB, nor going to Hezbollah. If anyone knows how, please let me know.
