I saw an article about a young girl appx 5 years old who had died due to a stupid accident that was the fault of a company who was negligent in their duties, and people donated something in the range of like $10,000 in her memory to build a park for kids to play in.

I can’t fault the family nor those who heard about the accident from doing something that makes them feel better & trying to better the world for those that live on, but I had a couple of thoughts about the comments made & the article itself that make me realize how stupid people really are . . .

1) What good comes of building more children’s facilities in the name of a dead girl if they already have enough existing facilities, which they do — I checked.

2) Whatever they do is not going to bring back the dead girl.  They mentioned that “hope” was “being embraced by the family”.  What good will that do?  No amount of hope or prayer in the world is going to help that dead girl.

3) This really is just a community trying to bring solace to a family who lost a child, but they’re going about it the wrong way.  They should use that money to increase safety awareness among businesses, or spend it on kids who don’t have the basic necessities, but that should be done by the government in my opinion and it’s a never-ending problem that this measly $10,000 is not going to conquer or put any dent into.

4) What they did was go the easy road & raised money to create a memorial to the kid & then moved on.  it makes the family feel a little better & those who contribute get their name in the paper & feel a little better for a minute, and the money is otherwise wasted.  Using that $10,000 to go toward a better solution (whatever that is, if any can be found) and doing it in the child’s name makes more sense, but it’s too much work & isn’t as easy to get behind like simply building a memorial playground that’s not needed.

5) Praying & wondering if your dead family members can hear you & are looking down upon you from Heaven (or up from hell) is a psychological problem that I hope we face & conquer in my lifetime.  There is no God, and religion is a facade meant to control & profit off of an ignorant & scared population. Science has long proven that there is no afterlife and no creator, and if you’d simply open up a science book (an a psychology book), you would see the irrefutable facts laid out for you showing this to be 100% true and no guessing.

I’ll leave you with a snippet you can ponder upon — if there were a God, the laws of physics have proven that in order to exist, God would had to have been created from something, and created by something at least as powerful as God.  Also, just look around this world and think — is this really is the work of a supreme being, or did this really just happen by chance due to science & luck?
