what happened in france is horrible, depressing, and not acceptable at all. but it is situations like this that are EXACTLY what happen every single day in syria, iraq, and other war-torn areas. a similar attack happened today in beirut, lebanon that killed 50+ people. why does it take people being murdered in a first world, largely white country for anyone to care? why are syrian refugees blamed for this attack when attacks like this are precisely what they are fleeing from? i’m sending all of my love and thoughts to the people of paris and all of my friends currently studying there right now, but this isn’t an uncommon incident in many other countries of the world. humanity should be outraged at this attack, and rightfully so, but they should be JUST as outraged about the attacks occurring in war-torn countries and countries not as developed as france.

All the hardest, coldest people you meet, were once as soft as water. And that’s the tragedy of living.
