Saving the Dolphins (and other issues)

Yesterday I watched The Cove. In a nutshell, it's a very well put together documentary about the slaughter of thousands and thousands of dolphins off the coast of Taiji in Japan. I get incredibly inspired by these sad stories, I think that it's because my heart is too soft for its own good. Anyways I immediately started a crusade to save them, to save all the dolphins. Uhm. Then I found out I was a month too late, that they didn't need anymore signatures in their petition. I was a bit relieved to know the dolphins were a step closer to being saved from their bloody fates. Then I went to an environmental websites, and found many more issues being neglected by the world. I'm starting to get a headache thinking about it all because I am only one person, and as much as I would love to spread the word about what we can do as a society to band together and dismember each problem and put them to rest, I know this will never be.

Ignorance is bliss. People care about issues to the extent of, "Oh my God, someone should do something about that." Exactly. Someone. Not "we should do something about this." Society places the burden onto others because the world's problems are too great to ponder, because they have other pressing issues to tend to in their pathetic lives, such as what to wear to the next fucking party. Seriously, these are the people I'm surrounded by.

Anyways. Sometimes I wish I never watched The Cove, it infuriates me to see mankind's ugliness. But I cannot shut my eyes and cover my ears. Though the dolphins don't need my help, there are other animals that are being mistreated around the world. I shall press on, as more problems arise, as more injustices are being done... the work of a soldier never ceases.
