Livin' in the land of Unreality

They "recommended" the death penalty for a neanderthal-looking, black-american pedophile who murdered his nine children by shooting each one in an eye. He fathered some of the children with his own daughters. An evil man, evil! But giving him the death penalty isn't good enough punishment. He should be set loose in the main floor of the jail and the prisoners should have their way with him, first. But of course we can't do that, it would make us 'like him'.

How can a guy murder his own children? How can a guy rape his own daughters? Oh the liberal hearts will say "something bad happened to him when he was a child." His not his fault, or perhaps, it's not 'entirely' his fault." You know what? It is his fault! Because something bad happens to everyone, sometime. hmmm not one time but many times in a lifetime. Sometimes some people are spared bad things in their childhood. But always something bad happens. It goes with life. As M. Scott Peck said "life is difficult". Everyone knows that, but Scott got it printed (and therefore, copyrighted) in a book. Imagine! Do you remember the old t-shirt saying from decades ago? "Life is a bitch; then you die."

But life is also something most people fight long and hard to keep. So even though it is difficult, it must seem worthwhile, otherwise, why fight for it? Maybe it's a natural process, something we can't help doing — fighting to keep on keeping on. I don't know. Some days (not many), I feel ennui. "The feeling of being bored by something tedious." That's the dictionary definition of ennui. And that's how I feel, sometimes, not often. I'm sure you know what I mean.
