The death count may be exceeding 30k.
Some come by ambulance, others are piled high in the back of pick-up trucks, stacked in bloodied heaps.
Still more are brought in private cars, driven by panicked relatives who blare their horns as they roar into hospital forecourts, frantically pleading for help.
Others are carried in on foot by relatives who could not wait for transport and scooped up their loved ones, running with them in their arms or slung over their shoulders.
Men. Women. Children. Some alive, barely breathing. Others already dead.
Only if war or atrocities could be redefined (and manifested) non-lethally and non-violating.
It might be sort of hard to not argue, but if we really tried, we surely would realize we have more in common than otherwise…
“Let’s go to (ideological) war over a warm home cooked meal with our culture’s most different and finest of food with a goal of becoming friends.”
“Ohh ohh yes! This is fun! That scene is about to play with WWZ’s zombie hoard climbing the wall! Let’s watch ’em all get mowed down with those 50 cals!”
“What’s the context!? I define brutal violence in terms of fiction because I know the only context violence would be acceptable is in the name of defense…”
“Golly gee, I love it when my sweetheart punches the dough. That’s some tasty bread that you would never be able to purchase at the store.”
Serial killer alert:
A cereal killer creeping in our midst: “There he goes, like a POMPUS BAFFOON killing that cereal again… Ugh, I can’t believe he prefers Cheerios, they are so bland.”
“Technically, it is a form of suicide. Technically your hair is dead, but it is still attached to your physical person. One haircut: that’s like 100,000 murders! It feels sort of good, and you look so much more presentable! Laters fellaz… gonna go commit suicide again today… I’ve planned out how it will look quite thoroughly! Look at that stubborn white hair thicker than the rest. I’m gonna really enjoy slicing that one. F**** it, cut it down to the root!”
We, as humans, have a mental capacity that I believe may distinguish us from other creatures. The capability to compartmentalize… It is called “compartmentalization” and it is a mental activity where most normal people are capable of separating ideas in each idea’s individual, separate context. While we should not go around talking about suicide or killing (because other people may not understand), we should consider personal creative interpretations and manifestations of atrocities, lethality, and wrongs. We, as humans, have always done so. Just think of the phrase “Kill the elephant in the room”. It is not to be taken literal, it is interpreted figuratively. Or think of hip hop’s “Kill the track” which means: “that musician is doing a really good job. She’s killin’ it!”
A relevant stalemate discussion:
Fire up the instant death beam and remote steam incinerators (thank goodness we don’t have to manually chop them up anymore… what a relief!)… Let’s kill the elephant in the room: “Is overpopulation the issue? The manifestation of actual homicides through an interpretation of death in the sexualized “realm” of reality (sperm not used for procreation?) is really bad for our conscious’, the human psyche, and our collective souls.”
“Rape is equitable to unjustified homicide and manifests as actual homicides…”
… What’s your opinion?
No matter the discussion, either way, let us have a moment of silence for victims of murder and wrongs.
