a little more effort

it is becoming increasingly apparent to me that war (for any reason) is wrong.

there are just better, more intelligent ways of solving conflicts.

-less destructive,

-less harmful,

-less taxing

on everything from economies to personal psyche.

why, in the history of time and the world,

have we not deduced a better way of living with one another?

in a time where intellect is so valued, let's think harder.

and in my personal opinion, can we just "think" with our hearts.

i have a feeling that just a little more effort in creating other means of resolving conflict will let everyone live more peaceably.

a little more effort.

and getting rid of pride, or at least acknowledging when you're wrong.

can we just try.

can't we all just try.

reading my history textbook makes me depressed.

so many passionate, intelligent....misguided individuals.

and i'm not saying that good things don't come out of bad situations.

but wouldn't it be nice if destructive, prideful, arrogant thoughts never entered some people's (including my own) minds.

wouldn't it be nice.
