Your life can be over in an instant.

Category: Life

Though we hear about death daily from watchin' the news or even from the stories that surface throughout each day it seems, you never really think it will end up bein' so close to you. I watch CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) on television regularly and even though I don't care to hear about death I for some reason find the show intriguing. However I never wanted to be able to say that I've ever seen one of those awful crime scenes in real life. I was at a club this weekend and the night went from fun to gut wrenching in like 5 minutes. Though I didn't witness the actual shooting, hearing it from inside the spot and knowing it was just right outside of the spot that was only sheltered by glass made my stomach turn. My life could have been over in an instant if one of those bullet's went astray into the building. What was going to stop it except for an object or person. All that I could think about was all the people out there watchin' the drama take place from what I thought was just a stupid drunkin' fight in the club and hoping that whoever decided to SELFISHLY pull guns out in the midst of so many innocent bi-standards wouldn't accidentally or on purpose hurt or kill anyone. That was not the case in this particular situation. When it was all over two people lost their lives and another was close to losin' his. I got to see my first real life dead body this weekend and even though I didn't know the victims personally it still made me cry. My heart hurt for them. And even though they may have wronged people in the past and may have been part of the shooting. Did anybody really deserve to lose their lives? I just kept thinkin' about how grateful I was that it wasn't me or any of my friends who caught any of the many bullet's fired when it was all goin' on. I have friends that have caught bullet's and thank God they are able to say that they are still breathing but all the craziness these days just scares the crap out of me. I have ALWAYS stressed how much I do NOT like guns and do NOT like to be around them. I know some people think guns solve the issues of some of these IMMATURE IDIOTS of the world walkin' around on a "power tip" because they carryin' a piece and can't nobody phase them, but all that crap does is ignite the flame further under the butt of loved ones and friends for "justice." I will never understand it all and I just hope and pray that when I go it won't be because I was out and about mindin' my own and some idiots decided to start fightin' or whatever and I catch a bullet and die havin' nothing to do with the situation. It was definitely a bit of an eye opener. I know bad things happen all the time and drama seems to be continuous around here but I still think there is NO excuse for retaliation by way of tryin' to end ones life. For anybody that reads this I'm not goin' to apologize if you've become offended by this blog and the way I feel. God is the ONLY one who should be choosin' when our lives are over. It is not up to us to place judgment and our choice of punishment on ANY individual no matter what they've done to you. They may in fact be "bad" people in your eyes but why let your animosity take over because in the end whether you choose to end someone's life or not we will ALL be judged by God by what WE chose to do and not one someone has done to us. There will be no valid excuses or pointing of fingers in heaven.
