Just a TV Show

[Muffit]

I have often heard people say in reference to BSG, "It's just a TV show". I count many of these people as my friends and so I try to identify with what they are saying. Why should a remake that spoils my dream of a continuation affect me? It's only a show.

And that's when I can't help but think by analogy, there are billions of children in this world. Why should I care about just one of them, my daughter? Why should one among so many be so special? Statistics show thousands dying or kidnapped or worse each and every day. Shouldn't I be able to think in perspective? You all know the answer to that. My daughter and I have been through birth and life together. She isn't just a child. She's MY child.

And what about this Earth? If we should lose it to pollution or invasion or what have you, why should it matter to me? There are trillions of stars out there with uncountable planets around them. Why should one be so special? Because we have been through birth and life together. It is my home.

BSG and I have been through birth and life together. Like it or not, it has become a focal point of my sojourn here. I would say anything, do anything, to see it in its wonder again. Or conversely remain quiet about other things when I should be. The real question is, in the birth of the 21st century, does my voice or your voice have any meaning or the billions of voices out there? Do any of us matter to TPTB? No matter how many of us there are?

Is BSG just a TV show? Is my daughter just a child? You decide. Because I can't see past my heart.

Affectionately and respectfully,
Muffit

Can we save the personal observations?

That's okay Une, no offense taken. I know I often come off sounding that way, it's my being emotional. That's the kind of person I am. One of the things that hurts me about the world we live in is that everyone is judged by how different they are from the norm. So if the majority of the world is apathetic, anyone above that threshold comes off sounding obsessive. But the truth is, how many of us are actually right at the norm? We all fall somewhere above or below it. We shouldn't be ashamed of our feelings.

To all the rest who are so kind to come to my aid, thanks! It always amazes me how many friends I have :heart:
