Does anyone else out there care?
April 07, 2002
Is it just me that has concerns that a multinationed war, a “world” war if you will, is set up to begin? The players has been polarized and taken sides, entrenching themselves in what could be a very fearful battle. It’s iron versus terror. Aircraft carriers versus viral carriers. Highly trained professional soldiers versus religious zealots willing to part with life for the cause. Two sides have formed with threats being thrown left and right. In the middle of it all are two who have been “retaliating” for over 2 years. These two are the source of this chesspiece forming. I’m with white, black is evil. I’m with black, white is evil. Is it just me that sees all this and cares? While people are being blown up left and right, I see people wondering what they’ll wear at their grad, where to go out and party, bickering about some girl that wronged them in their past. Are these sheep oblivious to the countless news reports of death and terror? Are these morons so indulged in the “decadence of the West” that they believe they are safe from world issues? I pity these sheep. The sheep that believe in George Orwell’s ignorance is bliss proclamation. Or maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m overtly sensitive to this because I believe every race, religion, belief, political doctrine, language, action, and life is all the same. I believe that every human is nothing but a human. There are no divisions, no borders, and divides.
Maybe a culture like “The Borg” from Star Trek isn’t such a bad idea. They don’t fight over religion. I have always respected religion and the right of every individual to pursue any religion they like but I’m having my doubts. I only see evil coming out of religion. Only sadness, murder, hatred, division, and greed. I see blame, scapegoats, propaganda, power, fear, and control.
There you go.
