All the Sad Things

Parents worry about their children watching violent films, playing violent games, in fear that their child may grow up to be timid and scared of a world that is now unrecognizable. 

     Yet, they don't think about the effects of all the sad songs, and the sad movies, and the sad books, and how those tragedies can take possession of a child's mind. 

     We destroy our lives before they even begin. 

     We are like clay in the hands of a world that is cruel and unyielding.  We are like puppets, dolls, servants in the hands of world that doesn't even know our names. 

     Most people live their lives in a state of starvation, always searching for that one thing that is always, always missing.   

     And I am no different.
