It took me a minute to think about what exactly i was going to write about.. I even changed my mind a couple of times, but with the help of my family and friends I have decided to write about the one thing that everyone will agree hurts me the most, hurts my heart, my mind and my soul. I can be in the best mood and when someone starts talking about it or even a commercial for a movie based on it comes on I get teary eyed. WAR.
I HATE war. I have never felt this passionate about anything else in my life. I absolutely hate war, war movies and anything that has to do with war. I just don't understand how killing people helps people! Of course everyone is entitle to their own opinion and I would never want to deny anyone their right to feel the way they want to feel. I do not want to argue about this with anyone, because I do not want anyone to try to persuade me into being okay with killing people.
One semester in my sophomore year at OU I was taking three classes. A communication class, and two different English courses. In one of the English classes we watched the movie Munic, in another we had group projects based on foregin news websites and my group had Al Jazeer, and in the communication class we had to debate about war. Everyday, and I do mean everyday I went home with a headache. I was loosing sleep and dreading going to class. Just watching all those innocent people get hurt, and yes I am aware that sometimes war does benefit our country but I STILL HATE WAR. Its one of those things were you know something may be best, but you know it is not good. When I see movies and footage of all the innocent people and bystanders and kids that get caught in the cross fire of war it makes me cry. When I see all the people grieving over their loved ones that went off to fight, I get teary eyed. It is just not worth it.
Think hard, if one of your loved ones was caught in the cross fire of a war, how would you feel? What if that little girl was your daughter or niece. Or what if your husband, brother or son went away to fight in a war and never returned, how would you feel? Just writing this, is making my heart literally hurt. I can not even watch anything on television about war. It is too sad, gloomy, and WRONG.
Killing people is wrong and will NEVER be right!!

Hey De'Ja, I totally agree with you. War NEVER made since to me. No matter what the reason was, my mind can't understand the point of it. I get frustrated talking about it too. I don't cry, but it makes me angry. Ummm, I believe this post is to audience of all ages. And, I'm already persuaded:) MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR!
ReplyDeleteI think most readers will agree with your stance. However, there are so many factors that are involved with the issue of war. You try to get your reader to empathize with your feelings, but you don't respond to readers who might say war is sometimes a necessary evil to protect borders, civilians, etc... I know you would still hate it, but do you believe that, at times, it is necessary?
