That is what real learning should be about. You bring something invaluable from school. and today i brought home my own heavy heart. It was 1.5 hours of watching how front-line war photographers capture stories behind delicate lenses. how blinded soldiers shoot the innocents as if they were just flying plastic targets. how dead bodies lay around so naturally as if they belonged to the cement that once built the foundations to horror. how hopefuls dived in chaos for that one drop of water. It was 3 hours of myself recovering from sheer disbelief and exclamation of their predicament. It was months and years of courage and passion to pledge committment to this endearing job. It was centuries of sufferings and traumas for the innocents. and it will be a lifetime of tears and regrets.

The lecturer said the documentary was not meant for the faint heart. I agreed not because it showed extremely gorry pictures. not because i could smell the stench of the decomposed bodies. not because i could see the hatred and anguish in their eyes. not because i could taste their salty tears. But because i could no longer face up to this damn life of my own.

So she said to me. Stop those fucking complaints and look at yourself in the mirror. Stare hard.

HELEN. she's a bitch. but a KIND one.
