RIOT!


So. Here we are writing yet another blog about society. Society itself has so many problems. There are dark hours and there are light, however the dark always comes back. Sometimes you can see so many wonderful things, and then, there are the things that make the heart ache and the bones quiver. People are getting sick of certain ideas, certain ideals. There are rich people who have so much money they do not know what to do with it. And then! There are those souls who cannot afford for themselves to eat , let alone their children. So then the world becomes a very dark, dim and angered place. People are dieing for such uniportant causes. The war in Iraq. Soldier, sons, husbands, fathers, are falling. And we call this peace making. Peace = Blood Shed and Tears? Is this really what we view it as. ' I am doing a duty to my country' yes, You can be proud, but why not do it another way. I would be more proud to say that I helped a falling nation without a single being dieing at the hand of man. But no, Force is the only way right? The only way for everything. Now some may say ' You are just a teen, you don't understand' Maybe that is the truth, but at this moment I understand it, the way I see it.

The picture above is obviously an angered citizen holding a Molotove cocktail. Ready to throw at the riot shields of the force.

Originally I had typed out a much more indepth comment for you and then by tiny misfortune I clicked a wrong selection and *poof*... gone.
I think I can still get my point across with fewer words.
Basically, the reason that we have conficts all leads down to the old-aged saying, "You can't please everybody.", which ultimately means that you can't make everybody happy with you, whether it be with your actions, opinions, or even vain materialistic stuff like appearance and your properties.
It's just that there are too many people in the world, therefore too many views, to possibly make everyone agree 100% on the same thing.
I'm not saying that it's a good excuse for all the problems in the world, but it's important for us to understand it as a reason why it happens.
Also: this reason can be referred to for just about anything I've read on your blog so far. This happens in all situations, major or minor, whether it's just a disagreement within your group of friends, amongst different groups of friends, etc. and it goes out as far as disagreements between entire governments.
Thanks for your insight. It's nice to see that someone else sees what's wrong with the world.
