sick of war.

if i hear another bomb detonated, see another huge plume of black smoke, and people running in fear, carrying dead bodies i, myself, will explode.

i'm sick of war, and the bullies who wage war - the u.s., israel, insurgents in iraq. enough already. i hate to sound like those mamsey/pansey peaceniks of the 1960's but i'm ready to give peace a chance. war doesn't make sense to me. can't get my head around it. can't understand the fucked up logic that bombing someone will eliminate a potential threat, or that bombing can lead to democracy, or that bombing can create peace. lunacy.

on an individual level most of us know that we can't go physically harm or annihilate people who do not conform to our visions of the world or humanity. why can't we apply and understand this principle on a larger, macro level?

humans suck. we are weak and violent. as much as i try to resist it, i'm starting to see the world in a very hobbesian way. life is nasty, brutish and short.

I agree with you about war!

Why can't people learn to share the planet?!
