So i am pretty sure i am sick and tired of love. All it has done is cause me pain and anger. Sure there have been a few moments where something good has come out of it but for the most part i simply get burned.
If i could i would simply detach myself from love, but because i am Catholic i am forced to love unconditionally. Which i try my best to do. But it would be so much easier to simply detach my self from love and from people. I spend most of my time alone in my room or reading a book. The most interaction i get with people is via facebook or text messaging. So i have no problem being alone. I do however have a huge problem with being forced to feel this emotion of love towards people only to have them ripped away by..dare i say God? Or maybe it is chance, but if you believe in God then there is no chance right? Don't worry nobody is dead yet but i am gonna throw some numbers at you and you tell me what the odds are.
Over 2,000 U.S. Soldier casualties since the war has started 1,334 have been in Afghanistan
and so far in this year 2011 86% of deaths have been caused by IEDs.
My brother was on a Naval ship that had roughly 600 sailors, His Job was Inventory Specialist his field of work Logistics. out of the 600, 1 gets chosen to go to Ft. Dicks, NJ and train for infantry work he has been there for a little over a month and out of the 158 soldiers that were in his unit, Guess how many get to go home and see their families....157 take a wild guess at who the on person is who wont get to see his family is
If you guessed my brother you are correct, remind me to give you a pat on the back next time i see you. So why the IED stats well its simple. My brother is going to be a driver and who do the IEDs affect? That's right the people driving vehicles. I like to think that everything is going to be ok but numbers don't lie. But you know who does? The military. But maybe that is just a biased i have.
But who knows maybe the odds can be beaten. I like to think they can be but at the same i ask myself. What're the odds?
