I wish it wasn't so.
I wish we lived in a world of peace and brotherhood.
I wish people listened to the sermons expounding the power and glory of love, given by Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others.
But unfortunately, that's not our world.
We'll always have war because it's a part of us. Human beings might mature into a race of reason, sanity, and justice, but those of us on Earth now will never live to see that day. Such a journey will probably take thousands of years.
I'm a veteran of two wars, and I've seen war up close. War is as insane and stupid as a knife fight between two lunatics.
But don't give up hope.
I sense that you'll be a voice of sanity in this crazy world, and you'll probably make things just a little bit better. So you can't give up on that.
