Shamelessly lifted from the facebook page 'man vs baby'. I hear about these attacks, and worry about the world I've brought my baby DD into. Sharing this with you so it can possibly make you feel a little bit brighter, and stronger, like it did me:
It's been a shocking few weeks.. the murder of Jo Cox, the siege in Orlando.. this horrific Nice attack. All of which seem somehow worse when you have a perfect little human-being to despatch into the future.
I'm not a particularly smart guy, I don't have any wisdom that makes sense of any of this shitty horror. It just makes me really sad.
But, even though it makes me think about the sort of world Charlie will inherit.. I'm optimistic. The future isn't something we send our children into.. it's something that, in large part, they build from the bottom up. They're not bystanders to the future, they're its fabric.
..And I've come to realise that there's an unstoppable army of us who plan to raise our kids to be smart and funny and fair, tolerant and good.. And to not be total fucking dicks to one another. We're raising them to be the best of us.. And God help the fanatics, the twisted, the dumb and the ignorant who get in their way.
I pity the merciless c*nts who will meet my son's generation on the battlefield of civilisation. They don't stand a chance.
So, for today, fuck you ISIS.. my son and all his friends are on their way... And your pathetic, backwards, caveman brutality will not survive their goodness.
