| i don't understand war. sure, teach me the politics, the historical background, the fighting tactics, etc. and i can understand how and why it happens. anyone can understand stats and data written in a book. but i don't understand this sick preoccupation with power. this incessant need of control over everything and everyone. this insatiable hunger for corporal things that last only as long as your dollar has value. i don't understand how a person can be so intolerant of another as to murder them. i suppose this is because i use common sense in my life. for example, if i'm walking through a park and come upon some flowers, i will probably think, "oh look, there's a flower. it's natural. it's beautiful. it grew from something i had no part in. it is completely indepedent of me. it is its very own being; life is flowing through each tiny petal. so delicate, yet so intricate - just like me. that's amazing." walk away. not, "oh look, there's a flower. i think i will crush it with my super-awesome human strength just because i feel like it. just because i can." i guess if i was fed lies, hate, and guns my whole life, i wouldn't understand a person like me. |

guajiragoddess | 04-22-04 10:57pm I appreciate the sentiment, but we will complicate it a little in the crash-course in government and international politics that I am giving you this summer :) |
moana | 04-23-04 2:32pm it makes no more sense to me than it does to you. here's a bunch of people. they either have something we want, are not like us or simply annoy us, so let's go destroy them. and for politics' sake, let's say it's a war agaisnt dictatorship, terrorism or something else like that. it must be a materialistic person thing, because i don't get it anymore than i get why anyone would want to pick a beautiful flower and deprive the rest of the world from seeing it, just so it could wither away and die in your hands. |
