Unwilling Dystopia

I welcome a time, a far, far off time, where conflict is absent, war has been silenced, and we can move on to more important issues like "What's for dinner?" and "What beats in the heart of a New England sports fan?". I welcome a day when we can realize that our differences in opinion are just that, differences in opinion, and they have, guess what, no tangible value whatsoever.

This planet needs a serious gulp of grow up juice. Are we honestly fighting wars over dino fodder? Over who's beliefs are true? Over invisible boundaries? Reality check. They're wrong if their views lead to the desire of killing people who think otherwise. And hold on to your silk collars there gentlemen, you who fight to end fighting are just as wrong if not more. You're in denial. The bloodthirstiness of a man primeval runs through your veins as much as it does those who're trying to kill you.

Society cannot justify war. There is no reason to spill blood. And until you realize that revenge is not a viable option you will continue to add to the problem. It's sad too, you know. Back in the day, all of us could just pack up our crap and float off to a tropical island somewhere. But not anymore, certainly not, not with nuclear warfare and Google Earth. Combined alone they push that thought away. So we bury ourselves in the information superslowway and do what we did for generations before, keep our heads down and wait out the storm. It's all we can do. You don't listen to reason. They don't listen to reason. And we don't want to be killed.

It's a shame too. A damn shame. We could have all learned something from us. But I'm not holding out any more hope than I can bear. You and they have yet to figure it out. And you and they wouldn't listen if we tried to explain. You probably think I'm a bit arrogant and elitist by now. And even more so now. And even more so by now. Etc. And they haven't even got half this far.

But I will ask one question for all those who are still reading... Why haven't you gotten what you wanted?

Answer: Because you are still willing to die for it.
