Listening to: Bella Simamaer-Bjork & The Gudmundar Trio
Feeling: quirky
As I trembled in my seat watching a pseudo-scenario of the tragic events at Columbine High School (L'Elephant), I could not conceptualize the intensity of fear the actual students felt staring into the barrel of gun into reality. Instead, I shook. I left the theater truly disgusted. But, also with a new scope on the fraility of human life.
As I trembled in my desk watching a public television documentary of the role of Anti-Semitism in Christian persecution of the Jewish people(The Longest Hatred), I could not conceptualize the intensity of bitter hatred the "unwanted minority" endured from a love encompassing religion into reality. Instead, I shook. I left the classroom truly disgusted. But, also with a new scope on the fraility of human life.
Elephant is an experience not easily forgotten by any means.
Strangely... unlike high school.
