America Watches Youth Commit ****: Where Are Our Feelings??
|
Posted By: Christopher Donshale Sims on December 03, 2008 A few days ago, it was announced that a young African American male committed **** online. Approximately two hundred people watched a young man take pills to **** himself. For what reason, I am not sure, but this is a sad, sad, sad thing. It is shocking first, that someone would commit such an act publicly, and second that people would actually view something like this. I wonder what was on their minds. I wonder what were they thinking while he prepared himself to die. Did they have any feelings at the time? Were they sad, or hurting for the young man? The saddest thing about the ordeal is that no one discouraged him from killing himself. No one tried to stop him, is what I learned from my mother. If we can allow ourselves to view such an act on the Internet without any concern, have we lost the ability to feel? Have some of us truly lost the ability to care enough for someone? Death is a very certain thing. **** is considered the unthinkable and undoable. From what I know, **** is the ultimate no no according to the Bible and/or Christian faith. So...were there Christians watching then?? Did Christians allow this young man with a life ahead of him let their entertainment lust stop them from maybe saving someone's life? I am not a Christian, my faith and beliefs are different. But, I can say with all of my heart that I would have spoke out to the young man. If there was a way, I would have said as much as I could to him so that he would not **** himself. I hope that a lot of us have not reached a point where we have lost feeling in our hearts. If so, we are living in a sad and cold world. One that I would not understand.
