loss...

Fear not, I'll attempt to keep this out of the emotional muck that such things usually drag anything on this subject into... I consider 98% of writing such as "chicken soup for the soul" mush. That isn't to say it's bad, but it's not useful. Now, you may be wondering what I mean by loss. Well, what do I mean? I mean something very real: I mean loosing people. I mean loosing them to death. I’m not surprised if you're starting to think you should shut off the internet window and look at something involving Bilbo Baggins and Spock on YouTube... Like that... and go if you wish, it's quite worth the watching, but I ask that you return when you're done. Are you done? Good. I'm glad. On with the post now. Or not. Now that I looked at the video, I feel less inclined to look into deeper matters myself... Humans... this is what we do: We drown ourselves in what interests us while the deeper things lie dormant... Like loosing two grandparents in 5 months... The funeral today I cannot attend... like a sister's friend, shot and killed on the anniversary of the worst occurrence of your life... like fears and woes, insecurities and things that we all deal with... but I seldom speak of anything of myself, and, considering the fact that this is a public post, I don't think I shall delve too deeply... After all, if I don't trust anyone outside of my friend the notebook and word doc to hear me and not to speak, how can I trust those I don't know? There's a thought to leave with you who blog your deeper feelings and angry rants... If you wouldn't say it to anyone else in real life, why say it online?
