Suicide Wars
No one truly returns from war. So let’s stop deceiving ourselves, taking note of what we actually see and what we know experientially through the inevitability of our own death. Nothing is more frightening than the end of everything we know and hold dear. The loneliness of a world without our familiar things, terrifies the rich and powerful much more than the poor and surrendered. Isn’t it well past the time to end all wars? But the engines of business cannot let go of the profits from building tanks and bombs which finance bomb shelters. The contradictions must be too obvious and the fears too primal to convince those at the levers of power to confront their madness. Luckily death takes no favor and invincibly conquers even the most hardened hearts.
