after seeing 'hotel rwanda' last night with howie, i was reminded of how i felt during and after seeing 'tears of the sun' or 'the pianist'. the not understanding how people can treat other people like that. it was a really good film, not in the sense of pleasant, enjoyable and happy skipping through the fields good, but good. and what sat with me was a line Joaquin Phoenix delivered:
“After they see this, people are gonna say 'my god thats terrible' and then go on eating their dinners.”
that makes me angry. because that's me. well, i don't really watch the news, but i know there are things going on in this world that are unjust, cruel, wrong, horrible. but i don't know how to move forward from that. i am just one person. but i know that shouldn't matter. i don't want it to go in the "too hard" basket. but most of me knows that it will. grrrr.
thank God there are people in this world who do make a difference.
