People today learn about Witch Trials in Salem and such, do they not? They learn that men and women were hung because of false accusations. So many were killed based upon bull s**t. That all seems so... horrible doesnt it? It seems wrong to the people of today, does it not? That the people before us hung and burned any one labeled "Witch." Anyone that seemed different, or didnt fit in quite enough. Any one that held something their neighbor wanted for themselves.
But truly, have we learned from the past?
******** no. True we dont go as far as to kill any one now a days. But ruining their lives will do just fine. Singling a person out, for any little difference, talking behind their back, spreading rumors about them. Breaking their hearts. Labeling them "dirty", "horrible", or even a witch. Truly how disgusting is it, that we as humans still feel the need to ruin other people? How horrible is it that people still go on witch hunts? Based upon rumors, jealousy, greed, hate, people will single out a person or a family, and decide to destroy them. If a man is singled out, and he has a family, that family can be taken away from him. His children given to "good" christian people. His wife left childless and with nothing, while he can rot in jail. Truly, is that not as bad then death? Sitting in a cell, knowing you can do nothing for your family? Knowing that they have been torn apart? For a child, to sit there and listen to people tell them their father and mother are horrible people. For a mother to cling to what little hope she has, even though its all been taken from her? If a girl, who is usually silent, speaks her mind, is highly intelligent, and yet thinks differently from what people want her to, then she is shunned. People pray for her soul, which has been led astray. They fear her. They talk about her in whispers. Why though? Why in the hell do we do this? We never take the time to get to know some one! We never do that. It would be way to much work. So instead we listen to rumors and judge people! How ******** stupid is that?! Why... Why do we have to do that... We can call ourselves good people, we can say we're doing the right thing. We can convince ourselves that no matter how ******** up we are, no matter how many sick things we've done, that its all for the best. That its a good and just cause.
A witch hunt... Thats what we endured isnt it?
I'd rather be labeled a witch, and endure a modern day hunt. I dont want to be like that. I dont want to think like that. I dont want to be so ******** up in the head that I ruin another person. How ever hard it may be to be with those that are different. How ever trouble it may cause. Its more then worth it. Its enough to know that I'm my own person. Its enough to know that they wont break me. I'll hold my ground. I'll join the ranks of the modern ay witches, and smile, knowing that no matter whay. I'll always have my hope. I'll always have the ones I care for most. That I have more then those bastards ever will. They've lived a longer life then myself. But what have they gained? Money? The right to accuse? No. I've got more then them. I've got the thirst for what lays in the shadows. I've got my own mind, that will think for its own self. I"'ve got Sarah. I've got Mike. I've got Parker. I've got Dasha. I've got my mom, my dad, my brother, my sister. I've got the will to live no matter what. I've got the will to help others. So. Let them hunt me and my family. They will never know what we have. They will never know what they cant take.
