Point And Shoot

So many things going on!

During the whole week I got up considerably late…or as they say, fashionably late, and I just couldn’t help but reflect on random subjects inside my head. My goal was to find a philosophical answer to a topic which I found inspiring, and this is what it gave me.

If it wasn’t for my existence on this earth the world as we know it would not be the same; the outcome of every single historical event would alter in some way, leading to a different tomorrow. How is this so? How could a simple being like me make such a drastic change in today’s society? Well it’s quite simple when you think about it. My existence is based on choices I make that influence my future as well as the environment around me, hence the whole world. These are forces that work beyond our understanding since this phenomenon that I’m trying to prove is entirely debatable but in the end it can never reach a significant conclusion because of its lack of fictional evidence. The whole concept is based on pure philosophy and it’s very hard to understand without a proper example…

Let’s say that a child is born, well this child affects the life style of the family that surrounds him, furthermore the relatives that ignore there daily lives to give attention to this child. Let’s say that the child was never born, this means that everybody would have had lived on with their daily lives. One of these people is a family relative that is gone to war. In this war the man fought hard and courageously, taking down at least a dozen of enemy soldiers. These soldiers have families of their own that are affected by the death of these particular individuals. Now comes the time of grieving while life opportunities are ignored. One of these people is a man of politic that left his job for a week to grieve the death of his relative. During his absence a colleague got a promotion, which is a colleague that is quite inferior when compared to the absent individual. If the child was born the man would had have never left his country, the enemy soldiers would of not have been killed, if so in a seemingly different way at a different time in a different context, and the individual would have had never left his job, hence he would had have the promotion. The answer to this whole chain of event is quite short yet very strong: one person is indeed able to change the world…

Enough of this confusing talk, how about a bit of drama? Well…it isn’t really drama; it’s just a very unfortunate chain of events that has occurred during the last month in the town where I live near. Friday we were about to make supper when my mom noticed that we were missing a few ingredients for the recipe. Of course we couldn’t just abandon the whole meal so we decided to take a little ride to the grocery store. When we got in the town named Bourget, we noticed that there were flashing lights near the towns main intersection (the town is actually composed of only one intersection). When we got close a firefighter asked us where we were going. My mom replied that we wanted to head straight ahead, first to the grocery store and after that to my grandma’s house. It wasn’t a problem since the places where we intended to go to were before the “accident”. Yes, accident. The firefighter told us that a big truck tried to turn at the intersection and unwillingly made an electrical post fall; the wires were on the street everywhere and there was still some current in them. But it wasn’t what it sounded like, it was actually quite frightening. The post was thorn apart in 3 pieces while the man in the truck was trapped since if he tried to escape it was a certain death…you know…physics and electricity. Anyways, I took a picture but you can’t see much.

We then met up with my grandmother who was standing in her front yard (everybody was outside, chatting and trying to figure out what happen…you know the typical small rural town scene). It is then that my grandmother and a neighbour started making a compilation of every unfortunate event that happened recently to the town…and I must say that I was quite surprised by the final number. A month ago a drunk guy crashed into my grandmother’s 2 cars, destroying one completely, after that my grandmother got her licence plates stolen off her car, there was a hold up at the pharmacy…as in an armed robbery, a guy fell near the town intersection and never got up (rumours suspect he’s dead), a dead body was found in some apartment, they cut the water in the town, the accident of the day with the electric post, oh and some thieves broke into the liquor store, and finally some people are having fun breaking into cars and stealing radios. And to add to that on Friday night the town didn’t have any electricity until late in the night. You want action? We got action!

On a more positive side of life I took the time to head outside and take pictures of everything I saw, including me. It’s not very practical to take pictures when you can’t see what you’re shooting, but in the end they turned out great! I’ll upload them later on.
