Today i woke up feeling a little loss. I was confused but I knew where I was than out of nowhere whatever I ate on the night before just came back up. Yup I threw up everywhere, lets just say this Monday didn't start the way i wanted it to go. After a few hours I'm still feeling lost but i know what seems to be bothering me. Just thinking about how many things happen around us amazes my mind. I'm slowly starting to realize how complex everything really is. There are so many problems and different types of conflicts going on yet, all most no one seems to really care. I don't quiet understand why this bothers me to the point where i think about it on the daily bases.
I remember back in high school I was just a sophomore on my history class when I was assigned to write a paper about a current situation developing. Of course at the time the main subject at the time was how our military more specifically our special forces had just killed Osama Bin Laden. I would say almost everyone wrote their papers about that victory against terrorism I would say, but no me. I chose to write about the Middle East, Syria to be exact. At the time the Arab spring was at its pike, With revolutions in places such as Egypt, Libya & Syria. In Syria It's government decided to start putting demonstrations down at all cost by Arresting or killing its civilian population. At one point the Syrian people felt fed up and decided that they've had enough, things got so bad that now it was a full blown of civil war. After almost 5 years of fighting and more than 6.5 million people displaced within Syria and a toll of 210,060 with half of them being civilians, there seems to be no end to what started as a peaceful demonstration of a fed up population.
AT times I wish there was more I could do to help those in need but I know that one person can't change the whole world. As of right now all I can do for right now is observe how more conflicts develop and things take a turn for the worse far from home. I'm sure there are better or more concern things to worry about such as our economy our how my family is, but that's just me. Sometimes I feel like I'm different or that I think different than most people my age but I'm sure we all have our different concerns.
Bryan,
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a random free write, which is the assignment for Week 6, but I can't tell if you wrote this for Week 4 or 5 or 6.
Let's just say it's for Week 6 and you're early. If it were the other weeks, it would be a late submission.
You do have excellent writing skills - I'd like to see them on a weekly basis, though. What's going on? You will not be able to pass this class at this pace.
Take a break from thinking about the big world out there and start to focus on Bryan's world - Bryan's responsibilities, Bryan's problems, etc. We can't solve the world's problems until we solve our own.
Start small. Then, it will spread.
Ps... where's the poetry?
