When you think about--------

When you think about ALL of the horrors that have been brought upon this earth how does one deal with it? It's like everything else? Right? It just takes time..... I guess time is the only real cure for the pain. It takes one far, far away from the raw experience and is buried underneath, deep in the brain? It's one of the only real cures that helps you forget? To just be angry does nothing. To be depressed does nothing except rot one's soul. To keep the pain in one's body does nothing except make you toxic and may even kill not only your body but spirit as well.
You can drink to oblivion, or take drugs until you are no good to yourself or to anyone else. To eat? Sex? Kill? Can one talk about raw pain and not be affected by it? If you are watching and listening and feeling?

Dealing with the raw is called "History"....that's why we have history books right? To teach the uniniated about why you are here today and the costs of why you live where you live. All the wars involved living, breathing human beings. They struggled, or caused the struggle. We read about the success of America, the success of civilization. We forget the hunger, the injustices, the annihilation. We don't have war in our street. Right now I want to take time to thank those people who went before me, those I know and didn't know who paved the path to make it smoother. My ancestors, your ancestors. Good or bad our specie thrives because of "them".
