News...

Every day we all hear some sort of news, well that is if you are interested in current affairs and the rest of the media's interpretations of 'what's happening in the world'

The other day I was sitting in the car staring out the window and the news was on the radio... I heard the normal: recession - the inflation rising slightly, a few odd bits of news and then finally someone who had been murdered earlier that day. News: every single article I read, watch or listen to has to mention bad news and this normally comes in the form of someones death and commonly murder.

How can people be so cruel to kill innocent lives - young or old, whoever they are, it is just plain cruel. Why do the murderers try so hard to hide themselves? I'll tell you why: because they are cowardess, scared and in a total turmoil of disgust. Police and investigators spend various amounts of time which sometimes total up to years investigating a mysterious murder or happening - just to leave someones family in complete misery as they cannot gain closure because of that murderer that can't be found. There should be justice. How about those individuals who are taken away by perhaps strangers from their families, why are people so obsessed over having someone kidnapped, crying, in pain and pleading to be released? And again, these families sit and wait for their child or loved one to walk through the door and to be free from the horrible individual who took them quite cynically. They cannot have closure, the mystery will continue until their loved one has been found - not knowing what state.

The news makes me think... Why are people so cruel, illnesses perhaps? Well I know that in most cases the culprits are free from anything making them do these acts, but yet they continue to wreck lives and for what? For nothing. Most of the time all they get is years in jail, years is not enough it should be capital punishment - a life for a life.
