Hotel Rwanda

Okay, I know things like this happen every day. Maybe not to this extent but crappy things happen around this world without me knowing. True, I am turning a blind eye where I am not looking or learning about what happens globally. True, I do not vote, nor do I read about politics on a national or local level. True, I am not an activist of any sort. In fact, I am probably anti-activist.

I rented Hotel Rwanda this weekend. Good movie. The story is not good, as basically it is genocide. I mean these people are genius. Basically killing off their own people. It isn't even black or white, it is just between different classes of black people. Over million people were killed in Rwanda. I believe it was 1994. I would have been 24 and just graduating college. What as I doing? I don't even recall hearing one thing about it. Not that I could do anything about it, but to see and watch a story like that....it is just sad that human beings can be so cruel to one another.

So the question really is, "Am I just as cruel to not reach out and try to do something to make the world a better place not only for me, but for other humans?"
