Not Confused; Sad
Each war is different, each war is the same
Wow. I read some of the answers to this Plinky prompt and am a liitle dismayed at the number of people who are confused about everything in life. I think of myself as a rational human being and I am rarely confused. I am sad at war and man’s inhumanity to man but confused? No.
Mankind is emotional and flawed – all of us. We are all egocentric and sadly, it makes for a world in turmoil. I try to make my little corner peaceful and hope for the best but people have always been and will always be flawed. I’m not confused about it but I do hate that we can’t all get along. I’m all for “live and let live” but I sometimes think I’m in the minority. Sadly, people have died and will continue to die in the name of religion. I wish it weren’t so.
What an awesome picture. War does seem so senseless. Had dinner with my cousin the other night who has four sons. Three of them have been to Afganistan and/or Iraq. One of her sons has done 3 tours in Iraq and is about to go to Afganistan. How much longer must this war continue? I understand we have to take action but…. well… I’m sad too. Good post.
thanks. I too would love war to end but it never will.
