"Creative Topic" #20.5: The Year in General
I know my site only focuses on
media, but I feel it’s important to not just reflect on that. Some things are
much more important than entertainment. First, Gay Rights had a huge Milestone.
Now a third of Americans now live in states where its legal for two people of
the same gender to be married. Not to mention never before have I seen so many
people defending gay rights, and I think that’s a great thing. We have a new
pope, and he’s apparently super nice. There was a Government Shutdown followed
by the Obamacare disaster. Not to mention the near bombing of Syria. All in
all it seems the government itself has terrible tension in the air, and
hopefully it will be a better year next year. But on top of the Syria lives
taken, there was the Boston Bombing, the terrible storm in the Philippines, and
of course even more school shootings going around left and right. And yeah,
that’s a lot of terrible. I want to honor all the lives lost, and for everyone
to celebrate and honor those who were taken in these terrible incidents. But
I’m a yin-yang person, and I think for me that makes these events not seem as
bad. Anyway, another rollercoaster year, let’s see the next one.
