We're all human, how utterly ironic
Normally I will not delve into political issues, but today is the day.
Terri Shiavo passed away but a few moments ago. Honestly I've never been more disgusted in all my life. First of all, Mrs. Shiavo's husband was trying to let her die for so long now but the judicial system worked against him keeping her alive in a vegetated state for entirely too long.
Makes you want to write out your will even at age 24. For me anyway. Well the damn Govt. who was fighting to keep her alive were the ones that then helped to have the woman's feeding tube removed so she could starve to death over the last two weeks. How awful. Some are calling it Corporal Punishment and I can't help but agree. They fought so long to keep her alive with no quality of life and then let's her starve to death. I'd rather be lethally injected.
What is wrong with the way people rationalize this. I wish I can change the world but I know I can not and that is why I don't spend a lot of time bitching about these things. There is no use getting stressed out about the things we cannot change, accept them. That my friends is in the gospel. But empathy is a bitch and my heart goes out to Terri Shiavo's soul, and the ones who have loved her in her conscious and unconscious state.
I want to add one more thing....to all those out there suffering from eating disorders: Please know that this is what brought on the heart attack that led to Terri Shiavo's life in a vegetated state. It's a dangerous thing to mess with your body's natural needs like that. If you have a problem please think of this poor woman and the life she lacked.
As for the rest of the world, it's a nice day with some clouds threatening rain, but it is warm. I awoke to the birds again calling me out of my slumber and into the sunshine for the better part of the morning. I knew she was going to pass away today and as I sit here typing this, CNN is on in the other room showing the President of the United States talk about her death. What a joke.
