After these past few weeks and the horrible events that have been occurring around the nation it puts fear in my mind. The events like the Orlando night club shooting, the Stanford rape case, the man headed for the LA pride parade with guns and explosives, or even the shooting of Christina Grimmie. All these scary situations engulf me with fear and probably a lot of other people as well.
The thing is, you never really know people, you never know what someone is capable of and that’s the scariest thing in the world. Not spiders, not heights, not even cancer… Not knowing anothers thoughts or intentions is the worst thing this world has to offer.
It sickens me to think someone is capable of harming others, random strangers, but this is a cruel cruel world. I’ll never be able to understand someones reasoning behind killing or harming others, it’s horrible, those people have lives, they have families, friends, a job, they are more than what you see on the outside.
You think your Friday or Saturday night is going to be amazing, going out with your friends, getting dressed up, maybe thinking about going out was the only thing getting you through your week. Whether you end up going to a party or a club, you get there and your having the time of your life until someone changes your life forever. Although this is just an example, this as we know now can happen anywhere.
Although these are more serious topics, not knowing someone's intentions can be very scary in relationships as well. Yes, a person may tell you a lot and you might think you know them and what they are thinking but words are words and that doesn't mean they are being 100% honest. In a friendship as well, you don't know if a person is toxic to you until after everything's gone down. It's terrible you never know if someone is using you, trust is a very hard thing to gain and keep in today's society.
All of these events really change my perspective on life. You never know what’s going to happen tomorrow, so make everyday count. I know that's extremely cliché but its completely true, I never really believed it until now. Trust is very hard concept in today's day and age, after all these terrible events you may never have the interest to see the good in someone because you are too scared; and that is a horrible thing, I wish it was possible to trust everyone and not have fear. But we all know that isn't possible, like I said people's intentions are never clear, unfortunately.
Prayers for the families affected by these terrible events.
