Meaningful things I have read over the years

[Fibo]

if you keep dwelling on how nice if you can turn back the clock and be twenty years younger... hmmm...twenty years from now, you will repeat your wish how wonderful if you can turn the clock back to today. So, treasure what you are, what you have today, before it's gone and be regretted, and be wished to come back.

Nowadays, there are a lot of crap sayings floating around in the internet.

 

We don't really know if the celebrities said those things.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

When I came home from war I was angry all the time. I was pissed off that millions knew what the Kardashian's wore today, but had no clue where Fallujah was and certainly didn't know the names of the Americans who died there that day. I was frustrated with people bitching about a long work day and not seeing their families for 12 hours, while I knew there were troops working on a 48 hour day, only to go back and sleep in a shithole and not see their family for months (if ever again).

Since then, I've learned that I can't expect everyone to be as vigilant as me all of the time. I can't get mad at people for not meeting whatever "expectations" I may have in my head and ultimately, there's no reason everyone should be as miserable as I was.

Some felt this photo series was "shaming" civilians who didn't serve (if that's the case, I don't agree). I didn't see it that way. I saw it as a way to put into images what so many young people coming home from war feel when they try to reintegrate into civilian life and are back home with their family and friends. It represents how foreign the world they grew up in is to them now and how the things that used to matter to them have taken on a completely different meaning. As this page is about awareness and someone out there may be the angry Veteran or the loved one of an angry Vet trying to understand, I felt it was good to share and explain.
