On the Haitian Tragedy and how I can still go on Facebook.

I can hardly believe the things that are happening in Haiti right now.
No accepted death toll, millions displaced and dying of simple trauma that would never be a death sentence in any other part of the world.
This is a disgrace to the world order. Relief shipments and planes of supplies are being turned away because of mass confusion and miscommunication.
I wish we lived in a world with a UN tragedy relief net so that these things are dealt with immediately and succinctly.
The world is broken, and nature does not give a flipping shit about us. The world is not beautiful.
I believe the natural world would exist without humanity, and perhaps it is striving to do so.

And yet, I still eat my breakfast, complain to myself how cold my feet are right now, and log onto Facebook.

Sometimes, I hate myself.
