My virgin post of 2009!!!! Happy new year folks
Tomorrow is my 1st work day of the year. Contrary to the moans and groans of people around me, I am actually pretty excited. No reasons to explain that. Perhaps its the boredom.
Its a freaking new year, niggers. I dont have any resolution for the new year, just like previous years. I find it unnecessary though because i dont follow my resolutions. I just live and let live, you dig?
What i really want to do now is to leave the god-damn army. I have no reservations of serving and protecting my country (my country tends to need it time after time) but I do object the things superiors do to conscripts. Things we have to do because some old dick likes to suck up to the officers and officers sometimes are pretty obnoxious themselves because there is always someone higher up. When they behave like that, its the conscripts that suffers. I dont give a shit if thats their career and they have mouths to feed but if you can't make conscripts like us to be led and fight alongside with you, i guess you have make a really bad career in a citizen army. And if being an officer makes you incompetent in protecting your men, i will shoot you myself.
Being an aethist myself (and sometimes agnostic because of some godly musician), I really hope some kind of peace can be brokered between the ongoing warring parties. Have you seen photos of Palestinians living in houses with walls tattered with various sizes of bullets? All these happened during the first few hours of the new year while I was half drunk, not thinking about my future.
Soldiers die in war, that is inevitable. It is part of the seed and fruit theory in Buddhism. No matter how much u pray, you tend to have a higher chance of dying because once u enter the battlefield with your arms, you run the risk of getting shot. Conscripts aside, if you dont want to die, then dont fight. When soldiers die, they are not the real casualties. Their mothers weep for them, their wives and kids weep for them, civilians are affected and murdered by soldiers. You know...cause and effect?
My friend, frois said war is a necessity because humans like us needs it to survive. Like Darwin theory of evolution, survival of the fittest, when people of a particular group are unhappy with an opposing group, they would have to make a stand. And if their views are not strong enough, they fight to gain their rights. Similar to how animals fight for their territories and mates. Perhaps that is what really happened during the 40s and the 50s when the Arabs were unhappy that Jews had won a partition from the British Mandate of something, i can't remember. This probably concludes that the Jews were getting their own homeland in the heart of the Arabs' land. That probably spark the ongoing conflict that lasted till now.
Before you guys start to mention how you hate the Jews because they murdered civilians in the recent conflict, think of how the different countries, the different religions, the different political views, the different races, different colours sums up to the endless conflicts among us.
And if humans dont extinct themselves, i am sure Mother Nature will take care of it.
