INTRODUCTION
Оглавление"If you think, therefor I am:
I don't need to convince myself that I exist.
I need to convince you that I exist.
And then I have to convince you of reality."
Quote by Brian Ayres, when asked to describe the human condition.
If there is anything that you receive from reading the passages here. I hope it will be dealt within the confines of an intelligent argument.
Chapter One: Is the story. A philosophical poetic story depicting how the citizens of the world perceive the possibility of WWIII. Don't complain about chapter one. Chapter one is for your emotions to understand (period). If you think about it ... it's there staring you in the face.
It is the Appendices that hold the philosophical treatise on what war is, how it starts, how it ends, and what if anything does war accomplish. (Or is chapter one all about that? I forget.)
The earliest war with large armies within written record occurred 5,000 years ago. You are most likely under the age of 100. 5,000 divided by 100 equals 50. 50 times your life span. More, since it's rare to live to be 100. There has always been a conflict somewhere on planet Earth every day of every year for the past 5,000 years. Humans killing humans for the sole reason that they refuse to talk, understand, and compromise on whatever issue gave rise to one leader giving the order for his army to attack and kill other humans.
In reality men have been killing men from before written history. The bone structure and size of the brain in humans have been the same for 50,000 or more years. Men killed men even before we were human. Neanderthal. Or, if your religious ... men have been killing men ever since Caine killed Abel.
You should believe in evolution though: http://humanorigins.si.edu/
It's ok. Your spirit will still find its way.
There will always be enough men to join any army, to fight any fight, and for any reason, because the soldier on the front line does not care for the reason that their leaders have for war ... the man on the front line only cares about one thing ... killing the man in front of him. Women don't understand this. The men that lead armies do. That is why the leader (if a man) will not hesitate to use an army for their own purpose. For good. For bad. Men are men. Until they evolve past their animal selves. Evolution has not taken us far enough ... yet.
The fact is: War will not solve the problems that the world faces ... Hunger, Poverty, Hatred, and Environmental Collapse.
War has never ended for men. It may never end. It will only take on a different form. In the mind of man. War ... is always present.
Johnny Mandel - Suicide is painless
"Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
[Chorus]:
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and...
[Chorus]
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.
[Chorus]
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat.
[Chorus]
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...
[Chorus]
A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
'is it to be or not to be'
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you choose."
