Tunnel of Oppression experience

I witness a terrifying reality on April 7, 2008. As I was walking through what was a dose of reality I realize how there is so much going on in the world around me. “The Tunnel of Oppression,” was what I considered the most honest experience about what is happening in this world. As I walked through the Children of War theme I felt like I was there, seeing everything that was actually happening to those kids.

Reading the information on the wall was enough to make me feel something. Seeing the video of the kids being interviewed was too much to bare. My ignorance had not let me see what was truly going on until I experienced this tunnel.

After letting all this information sink in I kept walking through that tunnel. As I was reading all the information I was filled with anger and sadness at the same time. Anger because I learned the truth of what we as humans have the capacity to do but don’t do it. Like for example the genocide that has been happening all around the world As an American I am showed these pictures and media coverage an I see it and say how sad but so does every other American I know. We witness so much hatred and still do nothing about it. I got angry at myself while walking through this tunnel.

The sadness came from seeing all these pictures and reading all this information. I felt bad for all humans who have been hurt by others. Hatred is a bad emotion especially when it is put into action towards others. As I was walking through that tunnel I kept thinking to myself that there is still some good in the world at least that is what I like to think. The tunnel just got worst and worst I saw nothing that gave a sign of relief.

The whole tunnel of oppression experience was great in a sense that it informs people of the truth but it was also depressing witnessing the truth. I suggest this place to everyone, people should see the monstrosity that is going on in the world.
