I HATE Cowards…
There is NOTHING in the world I hate more than a coward.
To me, a coward is ANYONE who places blame on someone…Anyone who does not stand up and admit when they were wrong…Fight for what they beleive in…But have enough courage to listen, learn and continue to grow. Anyone that takes the easy way out…Anyone who doesnt stay in the fight, whatever fight that might be…Anyone who runs…
I was going to come out here and check in after a week of fighting off illness…But so much has happened this week around me that I have to vent about something entirely different…
COWARDS…
Thursday night brought the news of two tragic events…
A murder/suicide here in my town. A man murders his wife. His 9 year old son. And himself. Reportedly because he has Parkinson Disease and financial troubles.
Now. Understand this.
I UNDERSTAND Depression. I have lived with Depression and Mental illness my entire life. I understand being suicidal. I have delt with a mother who has attempted it on three occasions. Hell, I myself have contemplated it a time or two. I get it. I get that dark feeling and the feeling of being alone…
Then Thursday night I hear about the Fort Hood shootings and I am like, Your kidding me, right?
Now I realize there is much much more to the story than we are hearing, but come on…A man might be upset about his deployment? He might be upset becuase people harrassed him about his religion? And what? That gives you the right to walk in and shoot over 40 people? And not even have the guts to shoot yourself? Coward…
Then today, another shooting in Orlando…Really?
When did the world get so full of cowards…
Since when does depression mean you have the right to take others down with you? Life is tough. Guess what, every single person has a story to tell. Yours is not special. Yours does NOT give you the right to take another persons life because YOU are sad and miserable.
NINE YEARS OLD. His son was NINE. Not even old enough for his first kiss. His first dance. Life is over because hey, dad was depressed. Makes me ILL.
So I have heard “Dawn, he was mentally ill…” No. He was not. He was a selfish coward. And its times like these when I REALLY hope there IS an afterlife and that he will have to pay for eternity for what he did…
There is no excuse. NONE. For taking your own childs life…
I apologize for having zero sympathy in all these cases for the shooters…All of them cowards…
You know what? Life sucks sometimes for ALL of us…Deal with it.
I am absolutely flabergasted at how sick and twisted our world has become. Kids arent safe at school. Kids arent safe at home. Soldiers arent safe on base. Workers arent safe at the office. What in the world is the world coming too?
It truly frightens me…And saddens me…
Getting off my soapbox now…Will be back this weekend to actually blog about weight loss…
Thanks for listening all and may you all have successful weekends!!!
I completely agree with you.
Its crazy.
I am tired of a supposed mental illness serving as an excuse for wretched behavior and terrible things that people do. It is not an excuse and never was.
I know, wow, this gives me goosebumps. One thing I quit doing when I kicked my ex out a year ago and got on the weightloss bandwagon was QUIT watching or reading the news. It makes mem sick! I work with people with chronic and persistent mental illness (mainly schizophrenia/bipolar d/o and major depression) and 99 % of the people I work with are NOT murdering sociopaths or drug addicts so the media needs to quit that card cause it pisses me off. U hit the NAIL on the head Dawn. It is DISGUSTING.
If they got the punishment dished out in other countries ours would not have the highest crime rates.
