We're happy, right!

We're happy, right!

/Michael Bublé - Everything


People are dying. People are raped. People wish they were dead. People are hurt by trusted ones. People are sick, in pain, tired, hopeless, hurt. Somewhere there but not here, right? It's other people's babies that have cancer and are gonna die in agony. It's other people's kids that have disorders, syndromes, problems. It's other people who couldn't protect their young. It's not gonna happen to our kids. It's other people who get sick, who die. We're gonna live long - happy lives that will not end yet. We have plenty of time. Tens of years. Easy! It's the other people who get shot, run over by busses, die on highways, fall of clifs, fall of the sky, drown, get tore apart, crashed, eaten, knifed, bitten, beaten, raped, smashed, dismembered by trains, starved to death, burned down, frozen, dried down, bombed...

I mean... it's those other people in the tv and articles. It's people on facebook, on instagram adds, in the emails, on youtube. It's just like the books and movies but annoying. And it's not here. We're happy, carless, immortal. Here, in our homes, works, cars... we're safe. We don't think about how easily we could just be gone. 

Everything tries to kill us. Our own species is trying to kill us. Our bodies try to kill us. We try to kill us.

But we're still here. Not thinking. It's cool. It's ok. It's nice.

So we sleep like babies and live happily.
