My best friend of six years left for the US three years ago. And now I am so far from understanding her blase attitude regarding the devastation that happened six months ago that it's baffling me that I've known her for six years.
And she's not to blame. I always told myself that. They were not in the country, didn't see the disaster up close, didn't see the blood nor the mountains of bodies. So now it's okay to make uninformed opinions about it? How long will you stay silent? If you're uninformed then RESEARCH about it. I'm an actual witness. Maybe ask your friend who is an actual witness. None of my friends even remotely TRIED to ask me what happened. And I never bothered telling them. I don't want an uninterested audience.
I never held any of my friends, either foreign or otherwise, morally under the knife to be my voice. I can speak just fine I don't need anyone to advocate for me. But there's a fine line between not speaking at all and spewing bullshit.
Don't my friends see, can't they UNDERSTAND. I expected better from her, but seeing her ignorance regarding the situation is physically hurting me. So this is what I told her, and maybe it's the last thing I ever will:
"You don't get it still. That's okay. Maybe some day you'll revisit this conversation and you will."
