Greater than a mountain
Stronger than the tide
Deeper than the ocean
It's our power to decide
Welcome to the Window. Euthanasia and abortion, two words not thrown around lightly these days, especially recently, with all the debates on their legalisation and such. Which is right, which is wrong, which embraces the true values of life, and which has the ability to end destroy it?
Let's start with euthanasia. For those who don't know what this is, it is the act of mercy killing to put it bluntly. Right or wrong? Do you think the power to take a life should be left in human hands? Is it really the equivalent of murder? More than anything, it is a great responsibility and a commitment of trust, literally with a life. For example, if your best friend was dying from cancer, and all that remained of their lives was two months filled with grueling therapy, pain filled hours of consciousness, sleep riddled with aches and agony. If this friend pleaded with you to inject them with an overdose of morphine for a painless death, would you do it? It's so easy, so simple, to think yes immediately, but to do it, to really follow through with it, that's a different story. You are taking the life of your greatest friend, who you want to spend as many final minutes with as possible. The ease of saying yes is there, yet the real complication lies in the application.
Abortion, the A word that seems so taboo for some. For me, personally, abortion is akin to murder. As one of my two best friends said, heartbeat develops after nine days. Is that not a living being? What if, however, the parents were drug addicts, or known abusers, or just plain bad people? What then? Do we simply say: "Oh yes, well, that's a different story! The child would be deformed, or have a horrible childhood." Let me tell you, the only people to determine whether or not someone's life is horrible or not is that person themselves and God. Yes, we live in a country built on the foundations of Christianity, thus bringing it up is completely relevant. Sure, they may have a horrible family, or live in despicable conditions. Then there's the possibility of being born mentally or physically handicapped. Well, why not think about it like this, instead of abortion before they're capable of even the slightest coherent and functioning thought, why not wait till they grow up and mature, then ask them if it's alright to end their lives so that they won't suffer. See if you don't get a distressed reaction from those who want to make something of their lives, regardless of the tribulations they're faced with.
From the very few people who read this blog, if any of you get offended by this content, I apologize. However, these are my views, and if you think otherwise, good for you, tell me, and I'll listen. On the other hand, if you simply want to have a stab and say that my opinion is biased and obscured, I suggest you keep your mouth shut. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all, just smile =]
Take it easy everyone.

- When you need to wake up in the morning, and set the right mood for the day, when you need to escape from the overwhelming everything of life. What do you turn to? How do you describe your core without speaking aloud, without having to talk to someone about it? This is how. Music. Lyrics. Poetry. Do you feel it? Do you? It's here, it's everywhere, locked within you, within the most tone deaf of us. It's begging to be released, become unleashed in a tearing chord, a crying melody, soulful harmony, dying lyric. You feel it yet? It's concealed here, within every word that I write. This is my release. I want you to see it, to feel it with me. This pure expression of every tangible and imaginable emotion known and unknown to man. To me. Welcome to The Window.
