So in one of my Coldplay songs is this line. It's so profound, and I've only just been reminded of the sheer weight of it's truth.

"You can say what you mean
But it won't change a sin."

Now, Coldplay has a lot of little inspirational, thought-provoking quotes like this, but that's besides the point. This one is particularly important to me, in light of past events. It's best if you don't ask if you don't already know.

However, these recent events have also reminded me in many, many ways that we are all human. Just because someone got a certain title or achievement does not make them a superhuman or perfect. Just because someone can do something faster, better, or more efficiently than someone else does not make them invulnerable to weakness in some way, shape, or form.

It's like the Visa/Olympic commerical - maybe we all cheer because we're human too.

So in the same way, we all are hurt because we're human, too.

I don't know why things happened the way they did, but I, nor anyone, can change what's happened. We can only learn and press forward.


ps. God, I put my life in your hands. I am too ignorant to know what is best. Teach and lead me to walk in the light. u.u
