WAR

Why is war so okay with everyone?
I don’t mean this war in particular, but any war. I mean I know there are causes for which war is necessary or unavoidable, but I figure, unless it is a cause for which I am willing to give up my own life for, or one that I can understand losing my own brother for. Then I have a hard time accepting it. And it would take quite a serious cause for that to be worth it in my mind. Because the people dying in these wars are just that. They are people, giving up their lives for something we as the American people decided is a worthy cause. They are brothers and fathers and husbands and sons. They are innocent bystanders. All of them are giving their lives for our freedom and for our safety every time we decide that war is necessary.

I just think that in this day and age of technology and communication and everything that it seems so primitive to have to resort to killing each other to solve our problems. I mean isn’t there something else we can do to solve problems other than resorting to violence and killing? There has to be a better way.
