The World we live in Today!

I don’t know if you heard anything about the things going on in Egypt, it’s not getting much coverage but a lot is going on. Just last night another 100 supporters of Mursi, the overthrown president or Egypt, were killed just after dawn. The government continues to claim that they did not fire any weapons, just tear gas, but in every report I’ve read they said that they’re reporters said there were gun wounds to the head and chest. It got me thinking, what kind of world are we living in nowadays? A world where a hundred people can die for protesting, and pretty much no one hears about it, and the people responsible deny doing it. I wonder how bad the people going through it must feel, they’re dying, but no one hears about it and the ones that do are told it’s a lie. It’s a very disturbing thought. Imagine if no one believed the holocaust actually happened. What if everyone thought it was a lie? See it’s not a pleasant thought, even if you weren’t in the holocaust or knew anyone in it.
It’s the same in Syria, thousands have died already, and no one does anything about it. Everyone cares about themselves, and if helping doesn’t help them they won’t do it.
I recently read an interview for the guy who wrote man of steel and he said writing a sequel will be difficult because superman is a superhero for the world and not just a specific area. So he asked, what would superman do with everything going on in the world, with Syria, and Egypt, and the Palestine/Israel situation? I wonder if he’d do anything. After all there are lots of people out there who can do something, but they usually don’t.
