#4 - SIGHT

I could guess, most of us in class may choose to post beautiful scenes and such...sometimes, we wish we couldn't see...Sometimes, we would welcome a respite from our so glorious vision...this invisible pain we feel...

She was abused by someone who once said, "I love you."


This was a child...still is...


Once waited for someone to pet him...then just for someone to feed him.


She just wanted to be beautiful...wanted to be loved.


They all watch him and think, "how could his mother leave him there?" ...and pass on by.


What is your world coming to? Will you go on watching it? Let your eyes teach you.

When I was growing up, I so wanted to believe in 'love' and 'happiness' and 'hope' and 'truth' but I was always skeptical b/c of moments like these (the pics you posted, and not you posting them but the means to the images). Don't get me wrong, I am happy and I do love and feel loved etc. but, wtf is wrong with people? I mean, come on, seriously.

Yeah, I know what you mean...that's kinda why I posted them. The first picture of the woman came up while I was surfing for "beautiful" pictures. It stopped me in my tracks, and I just starred at the computer screen. It wasn't just the fact that she had been abused, but that some sick jerk tagged her under such key-words. The other pictures just tugged at my heart so much...What happened to love? In my mind, I know it stills exists...but where does all this bitterness and rage keep coming from?

these picture just help to remind me we live in a sinful world! and that men are inherently evil. it makes me sick sometime to see how bad the world is outside of what we can see.

Hey jon! thanks for commenting...it means a lot that you read this blog even though it's pretty much just for my class. ^_^ Every once in a while I actually care about what I write :)

that's dirty. there should be better filters for metatags and keywords. better yet, there should be filters for people like the one that posted that. nah, i can't say that, i would be just like hitler if i did.

love does exist. most things stem from ignorance (rage, bitterness, etc).

i don't think we are inherently evil though. i sin but i wouldn't consider myself a bad person in any light

That first woman was not beaten by someone who loved her, that is a well known photo of a Scandanavian woman who was savagely beaten by a roaming pack of young moslem men for the offense of not wearing a veil and covering her hair. This is a very common occurence in recent years in many European countries.
