War

Once we sign on for war's crusade, once we see ourselves on the side of the angels, once we embrace a theological or ideological belief system that defines itself as the embodiment of goodness and light, it is only a matter of how we will carry out murder.

-From a book I just started reading, called War is a Force that Gives us Meaning by Chris Hedges.

war. wow what an issue. this is one of those things that is hard to take a stand on, though i am completly against it, i feel like it's hard to keep a stand on it. there is little hope. little hope in this big big world. war. it's deffinantly a tough thing to think about.

Yes this sure is a hard topic. Wars are not pretty, but sometimes they are needed.
