Ignorance is bliss...

I just realized how long it's been since I posted anything... I went on vacation to the outer banks and didn't bring my phone which was really nice. Since then I guess I just haven't had much to say. Something that has really been bothering me is how we separate people based on countries, instead of being upset just because they are humans. With this whole Malaysian flight everyone's like how many American's were on it???!! Because that seriously matters or something. Like it isn't bad enough that all these people died, people are only upset if they came from their own country. I think it's just sad that we even have borders. That we go to war and that Americans get upset when we "get into other people's business." It should be our business. We should help people in need. Whether it be people in our own country, or people in other countries. And yeah, I get America is in debt, but think about how much money is circulating around still. Think about the movie stars being paid millions of dollars to be in a movie and all the people who pay money to see it. Is that really the best use of that money? I'm a film major which might seem weird that I'm saying this, but I think it is ridiculous how much these people are paid. Even if I ever was paid that much, I would use a majority of it to help people. I don't believe anyone needs that much money in order to live comfortably. Having a huge house on the beach with seven cars, and a private jet is ignorant and unnecessary in my opinion. People care about themselves too much. It doesn't matter that innocent people are being killed in several countries, because they aren't "our people." We bomb and kill for peace, which will never happen as long as we keep killing. I guess I'm just really sad about the world we live in. I'm sad about what we put importance in. I'm sad about how hearing about killing is so normal. And I'm sad we all just sit and let this all happen.
