I'm writing this chapter/part/issue because I'm too cowardly to confront my friends about this.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6DrbeJk3U
So there's apparently this hip thing called R** *** *****let (I'd rather not tell you what it is, but you know what it is if you've heard of it). Basically, it show gruesome videos as a 'challenge' to see how much you can stomach and is a sort of courage test or something the other. I, though, have quite the opinion here.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdziKh910QF
To list off the things that took place in the several videos I decided to watch due to peer pressure, there was an infant run over by a train, a man crushed between a train platform and a moving train, animals skinned alive, a man losing his face due to a cliff diving incident, a woman being stabbed in broad daylight in public, among others.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwoqPIfpq7
Sure, I'm a bit scarred, but not as much as I wish I were. Such is the human nature, we forget things easily but we can also remember things easily. Strange how our minds work.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQzCZakMxn
So, the animals being skinned alive didn't faze me too much. Hunting happens, animals are killed, some nearly tortured to death, and they're animals. I wouldn't be worried too much about animals, but I felt really sad for them. I mean, a quick death with a bullet to the head is okay for me, but skinning the things alive, not even mercy killing, is just plain cruel, you know?979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY6KXNplft
Woman being stabbed repeatedly. Nobody helped her until one person got the stabber off of her. She was still alive by the end of the video, and during it she was screaming the whole time, though you couldn't really tell because of the low video quality. I think that the asshat who decided to record it instead of helping her especially since everyone outnumbered the assailant 8:1 is indeed an asshat. Fucking asshat.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEANKxab7gR
Man losing his face. I didn't look through the entire thing, but his face was literally cut off of his head. He was still alive. He was bleeding. His face was off, hanging on the side. Fuck. Shit. No. The people tried to help him out, but I think he shouldn't have been cliff diving in the first place. Dangerous activity that people find exhilarating, unique, etc. and while they're right about that, it's still a dangerous thing to do.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsmevR99hM
Man being crushed between a moving train and a platform. Blood, gore, not safe to watch. Didn't watch much of it. If I learned one day that my father or brother or son or cousin or friend died like that, I'd not enjoy that. A mangled body. Oh God.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYuARH99vn
Infant crushed by a train. Don't see why somebody would put that on the Internet, but people are fucked up. Holy shit. And my friends thought we should continue after that? A baby just died! They shrugged it off, at least on the outside, and internally I was bawling for the mother, father, siblings, etc., because they just lost a newborn human baby that could've made many memories in that family. Continue after realizing that a human was unable to live even three or some years? No thank you!979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjII7WKEi7O
Just think a little about this. People thought they should make a challenge to watch horrible, gory misfortunes of others, and people actually take the challenge. The thing is, most people forget the horrors they see, like a man getting in a car crash and dying, people see the scene, and God damn the people who see the scene will just forget. Some family will just forget their hardships. Sure, move along, but forget all together? Just forget a man you spent so much time with? Forget a man who could've been a good man? If he was a bad man, it wouldn't be such a horrible experience, but for God's sake a man died. A human being. I mean... ah, I'm gonna go way off subject at this pace...979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Rbciq6Je
Anyways, gruesome things were gruesome. If you see someone die, just pray for them. If you see people in hardships, pray for them. Even if you believe in nothing, just hope the people good luck and fortune. Because in death, everything is taken from you, save your soul (if you believe in such, id est), of course, but your whole life is taken. No more movies, friends, pets, relationships, arguments, cheesy jokes, funny cat gifs... all of that is taken away in death. Death is horrible, even worse than rape, et cetera, because everything is taken away from you. There may be Heaven waiting, but all those times on Earth have better been spent well or else you just lost your life for nothing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe4ULXOsyD
Ugh, God dangit, just... okay, so there should just be one rule to follow when living life: don't be an asshat. Don't do bad things, and you should live well with a good conscious. Be nice, even though bad things may happen to good people, but "the evil that men do live after them; The good is oft interred with their bones". ... I don't even understand Shakespeare :/979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnZMBzOaPs

Such a sensitive subject I chose, poor words I used... eh, you get the message, right? Message is: I'm stressed, I'm worried, I'm scared, and I need to vent it out through writing.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNhUo2ESUe
Thank you for reading, and I'm so sorry about all the swearing I did in this piece.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxRkS1Juql
