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.
