So this is going to be a venting blog post because I really can't deal with the ignorance and the lack of compassion coming out of the mouths of our youth.
So lets start with Ezoo for example because of its relevance.
If you don't know what Ezoo is, formally known as Electric Zoo is, it's a festival full of DJ's (if that is even possible) where people usually dress in bright colored clothing (if any clothing at all whatsoever) and take Molly to "rage" to the music.
I get that a lot of people don't take the drug but if anyone were to describe Ezoo that is how they would put it.....
What happened during Ezoo this year, and pretty much every music festival, a few people overdosed on drugs and died. One girl was even raped and found under a van without wearing any pants.
The thing that's bugging me about what people are saying with all this, is their tone in their complaints. People keep complaining that it shouldn't have been cancelled and they wasted money and blah blah blah. First of all, stop fucking complaining. I know it probably sucks that something you were looking forward to was abruptly cancelled, and now you think that your life is over but it's really not that serious in the grande scheme of things, and you are getting your damn money back.
I'm not necessarily agreeing that it should have been cancelled, but we need to be understanding and empathetic to the reasons why. These kids on Facebook that are posting things like (paraphrasing here), "daddys little girl took too much molly and fucked up our experience," or things like "maybe if she was covered up she wouldn't have been raped." Who the fuck are you to make such accusations and judgments? Everyones argument to me was that it was THEIR decisions to take the drugs and it could have been prevented. I am not disagreeing there, I think that people should definitely be held accountable for their actions, however, people don't know the entire situation because THEY WEREN'T THERE. And I do think that the event could have been monitored more closely so that that drugs can't even enter the arena. But on some real shit, how does anyone officially know that she was mentally capable to make the decision to take apparently "6 hits"? (Everyones argument was that she was dumb and should have known what she was getting into when she took so much of the drug at a time) Or how does anyone know that she wasn't an addict and accidentally overdosed? How about instead of making blanket statements and sharing your rage in such a negative way, you take it down a notch and realize that everyone is different and mistakes happen and thats LIFE. Another argument was that it's the parents fault. Ok..... I also semi-agree with you there because I think that a lot parents are being too lenient and forget how young their kids are, despite how old they act. But once again, we are not parents, who the hell are we to judge a situation such as this? Someone said, "I wouldn't let my child attend such an event."
Let me just say that A) sometimes (despite what an angel you have) children lie to get things that they want. HELLOOOO people have you seen kids these days??? B) If all of their friends are going, these kids are going to harass the shit out of you to let them go, because face it as parents you want to make your children happy and will do whatever it takes. Like we can point fingers all day and make points that are valid, however the most important thing that people are missing is that, people are DEAD. The fact that people are not feeling any type of sadness is what really worries me. The fact that people were writing such insensitive things about these people really made me upset and question peoples morals and values. One person actually said, "Why waste time even caring about those people." Look I'm not saying that I cried for them and was torn by this event, because in all reality people die every day. However, it does make me wonder what kind of world we live in that people only care about themselves and their own benefits by showing such a harsh attitude toward the deceased.
It's something I will never understand. I really think that the advancement of technology, what various medias portray to us on a daily basis, and parents non involvement, are major contributing factors (among many more) that the generations below me are going down the tubes. I just can't fathom not feeling any emotion when someone tells me someone died. I do think that in life, you have to care about yourself because you are the only person you can rely on, however the heartless comments that I read regarding the death of teenagers really threw me for a loop. I think a lot of people skip the step in trying to feel how someone else feels because they are too wrapped up in themselves to care. I think somethings gotta give here and people need to be put in their place because I have a huge mouth and have no problem telling you that you are a douchecock..
And another really sad reality is the fact that the people hosting Ezoo did not cancel the third day because of the children who died, it was for their own personal benefit in keeping up their "image." I get that money is the number 1 driving factor in business and you cannot do anthing without it....but.... where does the line get drawn? I think that people and their feelings should be trumped over how much money is loss, because it's quality of life which is most important above all. How much of your soul are people willing to sacrifice to make a few extra dollars... the world we live in today is truly sad.
so enough about me ranting and I am going to do some research about this and get my ass to class... I hope you enjoyed reading my point of you and maybe now you can understand where I am coming from.
XO!
