blood diamond

this movie affected me, and not in a i'm never buying a diamond again kind of way. what right do we have to be so happy?

the world is so sad, and so vast, and atrocities such as this will go on forever because we are each so wrapped up in our own tiny joys and deaths. how can it be otherwise? reality is so crazily different for each person, it is so hard to see globally when we are each stuck in our own prisons/castles.

it's embarrassing. my biggest problems are invisible in comparison to what others go through. it is all so unfair.
