Laughing at stupid, sad, cruel stuff - A letter to two friends,

It's been a while now. Doesn't matter if I'm at work, or I'm home, or at a friends, or even a party. I might take out a device of mine and stare at the news like a zombie ( refer to "Vicarious - Tool") to see what new shit is going on in the world. And by shit I mean to see where, in the world a whole bunch of people have been killed, or at best killed each other equally. And most of the times, It doesn't even bother me anymore, Just like most of us. We get used to it. Some might even say that we enjoy it, unless it has some negative effect on us and that is when we blame our governments. Which at most times are to be blamed for at least part of the shitty stuff happening in the world.

There are moment's though, that you get tired of it. Irritated by it if you will. When you turn on the news and see a whole bunch of people have already died for some fucked up stupid reason. And you have to believe me, now , I think some types of killings and fights are completely rational, comparing to what is happening these days. I am too disturbed. "deeply disturbed". And I'm pretty sure I'm not even remotely disturbed as you are. I understand the difference in us being disturbed because I remember times when I was disturbed and shitty and I knew most people couldn't be feeling as shitty  as I was, even the people who knew of the shitty things that were happening to me, my friends, my family, my people.

The sad thing is I kind of feel that it would be much better if all this was silent. Silent in a way that it would happen and we wouldn't even hear of it. I'm sure what is happening right now is is going to be added to the list of humankind's achievements in fucking up stuff. And we are going to be proud of ourselves to survive what we are  doing . But I wish there was no news agency, to show pictures and sounds. I'm afraid that this stuff might some day become my favorite entertainment. I'm being ironic now.

Anyway. There are ways to rationalize our stupidity as a species. First, we can just say that this is just the way we are and we gotta grow up. the other way is to say if you look at history, you see that what is happening now is nothing new. It's actually getting too old and boring. I mean we've had wars. specially we, as people from a certain part of this earth of ours. And we've turned out fine, I'm pretty sure people are going to read books about what is happening now. And reading books is either education, or entertainment. And when something is educating and/or entertaining, that's when you know everything is fine again. I'm pretty sure things are going to be fine. A matter of time. That's what it is. And that is one amazing ability we human beings have. the ability to forget, and be fine. 

Besides these cruel ways to calm ourselves, you should always know that there will eventually be some decent good outcomes out of this shitty bloodshed, I'm not sure what. But something good and nice always comes out of fucked up stuff. I will go ahead and say that I believe that most of the times, the best stuff come out of the worst situations. I'm pretty sure this is not just some stupid way to say life is good and shit like that. to make you feel good. I am just sure. I might explain why I'm sure some other time.

I just need to say that most of what I said, you might already know. And we all know that the situation is too crazy and sad. And you eventually are going to be feeling really shitty. Just be sure that your friends will support you.

 please laugh at things. Find something funny out of this whole fucked up, sad, depressing, and cruel situation and laugh at it. You probably need to maintain yourself for the time you are needed.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm not sympathizing with you. I am sure that no one can understand how you are feeling, Even remotely. That's why I talked about my own feelings. to let you know that I know that "your make up may be flaking, but your smile still goes on". And I'll try to help you keep your smile. 

Sincerely,
A friend.
