Today I was sitting in War & Peace. We were discussing that war began with civilization and now we're at a stage where war can end civilization.
There was a girl sitting to my far right who was of the Islamic faith, I'm guessing. Of course when discussing war in its current state, it would be obvious that the conversation would include the huge concern and power struggle between the Europe, Russia and Middle Eastern countries. ... oh don't forget the US. Nuclear bombs... of course.
As she spoke, it occurred to me her reality. It was really hard to believe how much of a daily reality war would be to her. Her home, maybe her family. She spoke to the issue between India and Israel like it was second nature... and i guess it was. Home, where ever that is for her, is basically an alternate reality compared to the one i know. Maybe I'm incredibly naive but I just couldn't get over how obnoxiously aware she was of the possibility and consequences of a nuclear war and I was sitting there in daze and confusion.
I conclude that I'm blessed far beyond deserving... and really out of touch with internation politics.
The End.
