I am the only one who thinks this is a flawed way of thinking?
The real irony is the idea that war causes peace. |
Well, as much as you hate to hear it, peace has been achieved through war. Peace has also been achieved WITHOUT war. Unfortunately, its not always achieved without war. 2000 years of history proves it.
We all want peace, i'll keep saying it, it doesn't take a genius to want peace, but apparently it takes a genius to achieve it.
Just realize when you're waving a sign or banner, or have a peace sig, you're stating the obvious. Just know, you are not helping anyone achieve it, by just "wanting peace", its a little more than that, and if you have no solution or atleast SOME ideas, you're worthless to the cause. Remember, its not the people on the street waving their flags, and vomitting in front of political buildings that made the peace we know today.
IMO its all more of a self fulfilling issue than anything. Every citizen that goes out to protest against war, knows not a damn thing is going to change when they go back home. I guess whatever makes people happy. Its got to be really fulfilling though to know, the only thing you really achieved was a traffic jam.
I know of monkeys that can hold up a protest sign and make the peace sign with their hand. Unfortunately, monkeys dont have any solutions either.
