Ignorance

Sometimes it's better to be oblivious to the world around us.

We were celebrating Bb's birthday yesterday, and one of the destinations was to Star City. Once again going to the place has opened my eyes to the troubled world. Personally, I found the casino to be disgusting. I saw it as a home for all these mentally ill people throwing their money away into a sink. The only winners there would be the owner of the casino, as in my one hour stay there all I saw was people losing money like there was no tomorrow. Then again, who am I to complain if people are willing to chuck their paychecks away for the thrill? Another interesting thing I found was that msot of the casino dealers were Chinese. I felt that it made the Chinese look like the vectors of mental illness. I don't want to enter that wretched place ever again truth be told. It is probably the most sin filled place apart from the brothels.

This morning I was just googling random things and I found a link about bullying in China. Children were stripped and beaten up and raped to avoid being beaten up in Guangdong. I saw a clip of a naked girl being slapped around and what seemed like being raped by several men. She did not even put up any resistance. I felt a bit of me die inside, as it was the first time I have been exposed to something this explicit. Sure, there is war and anarchy going on but to see something like this in a more community level made me sick.
