Thankful Thursday: I really have no problems in my life

Some days, i think i've had a bad day, and proceed to feel justified in complaining and being angry. There is nothing i could do that would be more selfish and ungrateful than that. Like Babym pointing out to me that, you know what? we don't have problems. Any small thing, we have parents to complain to and they wave magic wands and make it go away. B doesn't have that, he said to me, speaking of our friend, neither does A. They have to make plans for their next meal or where they will live, because if they don't, nobody is going to do it for them. We do not have problems. We have ungrateful kid issues.

Jos. Who the FUCK..excuse my language, who the fuck kills children? Who throws a baby into a fire? Who murders children in their sleep? Women? Men? Who kills innocent people? On a facebook note today, Banky W started it with this quote from Shakespeare "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here". Somehow, i do not question a word of that statement. People share a city with beings who are capable of commiting these atrocities.

I don't have many fears, maybe two total. One of them, the feature of many nightmares, is being killed for no other reason than being who i am. Just the way hundreds of innocent people have been killed in Jos this month. How can they butcher 500 people in one week? for WHAT?

Now those people, those people have a real problem. Those people can shout and scream and be angry at and question every deity they ever knew. Not me.

R.I.P to the ones we've lost. To the ones that are left, i cannot choose any words, because no matter what i come up with, it will still fall short. What do you say to people who have lived through that? what do you say to people who have lost family that way? There is nothing i can say. Courtesy will demand that empty words like comfort, and it will pass, and..what the bloody hell do you say? So i say nothing.

So here, in my warm room, with no threat to my life whatsoever, i am Thankful that i have no problems. And honestly? That about covers everything.
