Dec. 21st, 2004 10:33 amThey're gonna kill a girl today in Iran and it disturbs me how little I feel. I've written an snailmail letter and some e-mails but I haven't done more than that. I wish I had a fax. We have one at work but I don't want to break company policy. Don't know if it would do any good either. My priorities are terrible.
She's spent five years in jail for cheating and now they're gonna kill her for it. At first they would hang her but now she has to endure stoning which is pretty horrible. Yes, cheating is a sin but you shouldn't get bloody killed for it. They may have already killed her.
The thing is: we've a wonderful, priviliged life all of us who are reading this. We have civil freedoms and don't get killed or jailed for doing things that aren't considered crimes in most places of the world. I have a wonderful, amazing life. And I worry about work being boring today, or whether I will have enough time to eat lunch in the cafeteria when I use parts of my lunch break to do Christmas shopping.
