I put this blog off until the last minute and now I am regretting it because normally I could speaks volumes about war, however I just got home from thriller and my hair and skin are still covered in fake blood so this post will be short and likely not so profound. Is war ever a good thing? No. Is war a necessary evil? harder question. I personally don't feel qualified to answer this question, as opinionated as I am, I am so disturbed by the human condition surrounding war that I can rarely bring myself to think about it. However, all my lack of knowledge aside, I will say that war is bad and the suffering that surrounds it is nothing less than truly hellish. Rarely if ever am I able to see the positives of a war. I find it so sad and confusing when people can't see each other as people and simply sit down and talk it out. I understand that this isn't how out world works, but it is excruciating to see families torn apart, children marred by the horrors of war just because people couldn't make a compromise.
