What I did today:
- Went out job-hunting (but failed)
- 2 rounds of NBA 2K with the new albys roster
- watched Black Hawk Down for the third time
- Watched Running Man ep. 12 with Mcdonald as supper
After watching BHD again, I just couldn't help but reminiscent about the past years.
where I loved geography, dreamt about traveling and watching documentaries.
While BHD is just a movie, it was still based on real life events.
It happened in Mogadishu, Somalia, where a short mission ended up becoming an overnight one and 19 US soldiers died. What's even more sad was that over a 1000 somalia militia soldiers died too.
While the numbers are shocking, the fact that you realized all these happened is just saddening.
While it may be complicated because it was a civil unrest, people are killing each other because of the inability to be on a same mindset and agreement.
While I am sure most of us, after watching the movie, would comment about the graphics or which scene was very nerve-wrecking. I just can't help but think that I am so damn fortunate.
I never had to grow up seeing guns.
I never had to grow up thinking about food.
I never had to grow up seeing blood and death.
I never had to grow up worrying about possibly never getting to see tomorrow ever again.
I am just so damn fortunate... Very.
Call me sensitive, like I always have been, but I am right am I not?
Think about it again, it's so true of what I speak.
This is what I have to say.
Never question why others can be passionate about caring for others.
If you can't understand them then don't.
While they do their parts by sacrificing, you can just do yours by embracing your own life.
Nobody's wrong actually, as long as you understand and value what you have.
I have more plans for myself.
I need to stop eating unhealthy food.
I need to start exercising.
Watch more documentaries, read more books, educate myself more.
Education is very important.
But they don't come in just text and books.
They can be through observation and just the willingness to think more.
Because without them, human emotions can never be tamed.
