La La Land, NOT!

My Mood: >_< ouch!
My Music: news on tv

I hate feeling so helpless!

"They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason."

Where do we start? and where do we end?

War is a must. It is an impeding necessity, by virtue of being human we seek war. Reasons vary, but mainly its grief vs. greed.

Almost with any war, these are the two ONLY viable explanations.

This is not to say that the war that's raping my beloved Lebanon right now is justified, war is never justified. But then again, what of the thousands of our fetishes as humans is ever justified?

"Come gather round people wherever you roam..
And admit that..
The waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone..
If your time to you is worth saving..
Then you'd better start swimming
Or you'll sink like a stone..

hmmm.. grief v.s greed, I like!
Since I N.E.V.E.R watch the news "except 4 yesterday" I decided not to watch it again.
Seriously, feeling helpless while watching badly wounded people/children n dead bodies all over hurts alot!
I know this sounds selfish but after thinking about the fuss that's happening around, I thank god that we'r safe and thats what really matters "to me atleast".

p.s. sorry palestinians, lebanese, afghanes..etc..
