and i watched CNN.

I realised CNN doesn't really report very happy/positive news. Maybe there isn't anything for anyone to feel good about these days. I was watching CNN for two hours, well not exactly watching but just listening to it whilst i was sending photos to the many people whom i owe their pictures to. And, joy oh joy, all i heard was depressing and more deplorable news. As it got later, the more doomsday seem to be nearing us. My mum was watching the CNN on TV and she even teared over the news report on the tragic plight of the children of Iraq.

It was painful for me to even listen to it much less watch. I've always been numbed by the news of Iraq and anything related to the Middle-East. Theres Bush, Rice, bombs, suicide bombers and more news on suicide bombers and then we have the suicide bombers again. You only see the bipolar side of things - the politicians talking and the adversaries bombing. And then, theres this one night (like now) where you get to see the in-betweens - the masses or mostly, the innocent.

They are neither the dissentients nor are they are trouble-makers. And yet they are the ones who suffer the most. It was a heart-wrenching sight. Maybe it was good that i was numbed because its better to feel numb than to feel helpless right. haha. ah well, but watching an old father carrying a boy about aged 10 in his arm saying that he wouldn't let anyone take his son away because he has been carrying him all his life and watching the helpless and pained look of a couple who knows they are unable to save their 3 children who have polio.

It kinda gets to u. One can't help but feel that its wrong to just attribute this to another's own haplessness. As a wise sage once said the world is evil not because of the ones with fist but because of the ones who stand around and do nothing. So, what am i doing? haha. Like you, nothing. I'm just watching/listening to CNN.
