Me and My Wife Both Got Sick Last Night [View all]
We were watching one of those news channels on YouTube. They showed a picture of a a starving child in Gaza. You know the one. We've all seen it before. The one where their stomach is bloated yet you can see all their ribs. There are some 14,000 kids and babies that are going to die in Gaza in the next couple of days. We'll, with that vision and the story droning in the background I got sick. I could feel my body convulse and emotion run through my body, if that possible. I was so angry. I'm in my sixties and I've never felt anything like this. I yelled some stuff at the T.V. Then my wife said she was going to be sick. She doesn't cry much because of her medication, but she was crying too. She said she didn't think she could watch it. I said we are a sick world, we are a sick f#cking people. And we shut it off.
We, as Americans should be ashamed of ourselves. American acceptionalism I think not. We are losing ourselves. I am not a negative person but I have eyes.
As far as the crying and being physically sick ,I think we're just tired, sick and tired.
