Flight MH17
Did you wonder what the families of the victims felt? or are still feeling right now? To have them lose their loved ones on a plane crash. Some of them even came with them in the airport to send them off. Only they didn't know that, that was the last time they were ever going to see them. It kinda makes you scared huh? Scared of riding a plane, but you see death is unpredictable like that. Today it's a plane bombing, tomorrow it's boat sinking, what's for next week? Couldn't the world take a break from trying to tear itself apart? I for one thought that we were done with all the missiles, bombs and killings. Are we going to start fighting again, for petty reasons least of all (like China bullying the Philippines of their land).
Maint point here is PEOPLE DIED, irregardless if they were your countrymen or not. 298 people died and here we are playing a game. Russia is saying that the people at fault are Ukraine rebels that are pro Russia, while the US are saying that it was the Russians. Do we really have to play this game of pointing fingers? Does anybody in the world still have their concience in tact? Are we going to wait for Karma? At least its been doing its work when we're not able to.

FAST FORWARD: 10 years into the future
When I was a kid I didn't have to worry about anything, especially not something as big of a topic like -- the future. When I was young the only plan that I've got in my head was to meet a boy, fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after. Of course it's different now. I am a young lady (or so they keep saying) I have dreams, I want a career. I want to be able to stand on my own feet before finding a husband. After my career is established off course I'd want to find love and get married, that hasn't changed. The only difference is when i was a kid, I wasn't afraid, I was certain about my plan, and now my head is just filled with doubts. Am I doing the right thing? Is this what's really best for me?
If i wasn't so afraid thinking about what will happen 10 years from now would be so much easier. So why not pretend that I am not scared of the future? If i wasn't so terrified this is how I would be imagining it. 10 years into the future I am a newly licensed lawyer. I have just passed the Bar Exams and I'm looking into being an associate for a well-known law firm. Getting into a big company I ask permission if I could take night classes and pursue my Masters in Economics. After they have granted me permission I would work really hard to balance out my life, to be a great associate and to be an even better student. My professors love me and have just invited me in an Annual Party wherein professionals from the field of Economics and Business would be speaking. I am so excited to be hearing success stories from people who are also in my field. Off course I check my schedule so that it won't interfere with my work and luckily I was free that night. As I walk into the party I see a lot of unfamiliar faces, but then my professors saw me and they began to introduce me to their peers. I was surprised that some of them were just my age but off course after college they didn't pursue Law like I did they continued on with Economics. The night was still very young and I was standing by the refreshments to get a drink, when a man who i recognized was staring at me the whole time my professors introduced me -- followed me. He introduced himself and apologized if I was uncomfortable with all the staring. We talked all night except for the 5 minutes he was onstage. Turns out he was one of the young speakers who is now very successful in his business. As the night progressed he ended up getting my number. He called the next day and--
WAIT a minute! wow! that was a lot. I didn't know I had that much input into where I was going to be 10 years from now. Maybe I should pretend not to be afraid more, maybe eventually I would learn to get over my fears. I have to remember that some fears are actually healthy, it tells you that you're still pretty much grounded. So worrying from time to time is okay.
