I was awake when news about the Boston blasts came in. Two people died, with one being an 8-year-old child.
On the other side of the world, almost 40 Iraqis have passed on.
It's not an equal world, just as I had studied in my politics class. Some people are more equal than the others. Some lives are just cheaper. We can argue, we can fight but it is not going to change mankind who always look for something to attack and conquer since the time of Adam.
Of course we strive to be civilised and thoughtful, but we cannot expect a universal acceptance or paradigm, for the very thing that makes us human is the freedom to do what we deem right.
In the meantime, on this part of this world, two new pimples just made an appearance on my face.
