The Important Issues.

I didn't really finish my last post but I thought I'd just start another one just because.

So to me, it's Saturday night but I guess you can take it as Sunday morning. Or midnight. Nah. It's Saturday night.

I went to church today. Came home. Ate. Slept. Ate. And then ate some more. I actually spent a good amount of time on the couch, scrolling through the apps and gadgets on my phone. And by that, I mean I did a lot of Instagram, Tumblr, and GuruGossip scrolling. But half of that time, I used to catch up on current events.

Be proud.

I didn't realize how out-of-the-loop I was until today when my dad revealed to me that the United States may be going to war with Syria. This is one of the bad things about not having a history class where I'm forced to know about such things. I was totally clueless about the happenings in Syria until I decided to read up on it today. I feel so bad now. I'm making it a mission to read the news now. I don't wanna be just another ignorant teenager.

I really wanna use this blog for bringing up actual meaningful topics. All I talk about is boys and school and stuff. I wanna be able to look back at this blog and see my thoughts and feels about the real stuff. So I guess I should give my opinion about the whole Syria thing.

The problem is that I don't have a strong opinion about anything. I'm such an indecisive person and I feel like every option is never entirely good or entirely bad and there's always something behind everything. But for now, I'll tell you that I am against war. There's no wishy-washy about that. Killing won't solve anything. And everyone knows that.

So from what I understand, the reason why the U.S. may go to war with Syria is because Assad, the president of Syria, was the big man in charge of that attack in Damascus and used chemical weapons to kill people which is apparently a big no-no. So Assad must be punished.

My dad said that the U.S. should just stay out of it and let those people in the Middle East keep killing themselves because no matter which side the U.S. chooses, the Middle Easterners will never like them. I think he has a point there. The point is that there is no point. We'll just end up killing more innocent people for no end.

But at the same time, it's unsettling to just sit and watch innocent people die. Those people can't help that they were born into such corrupt and evil societies. But they must pay the punishment for it. If I was in that situation, I'd want someone to save me. And this is where my opinion comes in...

Maybe that's what we must do. Just sit and watch. It seems like the whole situation is hopeless and any effort is futile. Eventually, the Syrians will get tired and they'll have nothing else to do but get better. Maybe that'll take years or decades. Maybe it'll only stop when they're all dead.

At least there will finally be peace, right?
