Sad days indeed. One of my friends is stuck in Paris right now. She was trying to enjoy her vacation as well. I can only hope she is still doing well. I suspected they'd do a lockdown =/
*sigh*
Bare with me on this. Seeing this upsetted me. Sorta related but sorta not
Okay, so people made "PrayForParis" for a reason (and don't get me wrong, I'm with it despite not posting about it). Not even 24 hours later, I start seeing people talk about other events that happened like PrayForJapan, PrayForMexico, and others. Now it's "PrayForTheWorld"? Am I the only one that find this eerily similar to how people changed "BlackLivesMatter" to "AllLivesMatter"?
Not trying to cause any kind of ruckus. Yes, yesterday was a horrific day in different parts of the world, but why change a hashtag/phrase that was created to identify events? It happened with BlackLivesMatter when others said "No, EVERYONE matters". In my mind, I'm reading this as "No, pray for the WORLD instead". I even looked up the earthquakes and the one in Mexico was relatively small with no damages/deaths, and the other happened 90 MILES off the coast of Japan with no imminent danger at all. How were these events relevant and need praying? The tragedies that's happened are being washed-out by these hashtags and it's infuriating.
