Sorry, couldn't help but write here to get my frustrations out. Just finished watching Big Brother (I know, tragic really, but I like to watch the psychology and interaction of it all).
Anyway, tonight BB took Brigette's personal possessions away from her and you'd think it was the end of the world. All she's done is cry, cry and threaten to hunger strike until she gets her things back. To be that shallow, self centred and pouting like a 4 year old about such trivial matters.
There could be up to 1.5M people dead in Burma, an innocent 3yo boy murdered by his father, the starving and dying in the 3rd world while NASA spends billions of wasted dollars on space exploration.
Not to mention the day to day struggles of everyone here at Depnet. We all have our own sad stories to tell, abuse - be it physical, sexual or mental, physical illnesses, family and relationship issues, loneliness, crippling anxiety, addiction, the list is endless.
And this pouting juvenile can't get over the fact that BB has taken away her personal possessions "indefinitely". Each and every person in that house has offered her clothing and personal effects to tide her over, but she didn't hear any of that, she was too caught up in being a "victim" to hear the kindness of the people around her.
It made me sick to the stomach. I know, I shouldn't watch it any more, but the kids love watching it - even 9 & 7 yo's thought she was being "just stupid".
Anyway, that's my rant for the evening.
Best wishes to everyone,
