What is happening to our World?

Recently, I was on my computer sifting through news and enetrtainment articles. Most people can agree, that there will always be something that you read, that will make your hair stand on edge and make you wonder how such horrible things can happen. Unfortunately on this day, I was horrified at what I read.

I read three articles in a row this day, with each one leaving me more speechless than before.

The first article I read was about a teenage boy in America that had started this campaign aimed at making younger people aware of how vulgar our general vocab has become. An anti swearing campaign called the 'No cussing Club'. Now, call me crazy, but I found this to be extremely mature, especially as this young boy is only 15 year of age. However, he has now become the target of abuse at the hands of internet group Anonymous. It makes me so angry that when someone finally shows a bit of maturity and yes a bit of class, they become targeted by bullies and to blunt, Jerks.

So at this stage, I was definitely not happy with what I was reading. The second article was a bit closer to home, as I actually had met one of these boys on occassion, as well as members of my family being very close with them.

It was a news article on two brothers who has been crushed by an ice glacier in New Zealand. The brothers had been crushed because they had left the safe zone. They ignored the signs telling them not to go any further. This was a mistake, a mistake though, that sadly ended their young lives. Now the article itself was a standard news one, it was the comments though, that infuriated me. There was this one comment, that was complaining about how they had been called Australians, when they were born in India. To me this was just completely irrelevant and insensitive, and it angered me so much to know that this was all someone cared about, not that two people has lost their lives. Then there was another comment, where a lady said, word for word "Two more stupid idiots not obeying rules and now other peoples lives are in danger looking for their bodies. Let them rot." I thought I was going to be sick! These two boys should not have been where they were, yes that is correct, yet to be so cruel. How is this necessary? Did she not give one thought to the parents of these boys? These two poor people who lost their only children, who had to return to Australia from a a family holiday not knowing if their youngest sons body would ever be recovered. I just couldn't believe it, and it's nearly a month later and it still makes my stomach turn. I just will never understand such cruelty!

The third article that I read, was about a man who was on a car park complex, wating to jump. There were police on the scene, trying so hard to save this young man from himself, to bring him down to safety. They were seconds away from grabbing his hand, when a group of people at the bottom of the complex started taunting him, telling him to jump. Then the final taunt, 'Jump already', and the young man turned away from the police and leaped to his death. I am still speechless about this. I just can't fathom where these people who are just so cruel and uncaring come from. They make me sick. And to be honest, it's when i read things like this, that I hope Karma really exists.
