I’ve tried to keep this blog apolitical and not very emotional. It’s one of the reasons that I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve not been able to focus on something other than the current state of affairs. That said, I’m watching HBO’s Last Letters From Home. Every American should be forced to watch this. It is heartbreaking; it is agonizing; it is awful (awe-full in the original sense of the word).
I don’t know what to think. But let me be emotional/political here for a moment. There are so many young people. So much younger than me and I’m so young. We’re all just so young. But there folks, these people are children; 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25…; they’ve seen so much more than I’ve seen, and it’s been cut short so quickly. And to see their mothers, fathers, wives, brothers, and sisters is agonizing to a mere bystander, a viewer. What about to them.
Do we even have to be there.
