The injured the sick,victims of tragedy bullies and violence. that denial is a big chunk of what is wrong with humanity right there.The comfortable do not want to know how fragile and fleeting their comforts are in a world such as this.
The selfish bystander anxiety has deemed "security" for the not as poor to abandon the desperate and hurt. Fuck you chicken shit UN. Help it's why the UN exists.Dammit.
Alot of comfy people in this world have to stop believing this world is just or fair. Beliefs like "people get what they"deserve" is wrong. This world is NOT Just.No one "deserves" to suffer or be wealthy. The selfish have to learn to face reality as it IS and face up to the FACT reality is not going to be kind.pretty,meaningful,reasonable,just,favoring you over another or another over you, or predictable at all all the time,for most of the time to most people it isn't so good or easy. Unless you have been able to turn away from reality into a self absorbed madness that creature comfort and distance from others desperation and the horrors of the human condition (vulnerability) brings by having money to insulate yourself from it, or by having no conscience to feel it's pain.It is a LUXURY to not care.
"On The Turning Away" By Pink Floyd
On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand "Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting it's shroud Over all we have known Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone In the dream of the proud On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite In a silent accord Using words you will find are strange And mesmerised as they light the flame,
Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away?
