War.
War's my favourite genre of the arts - literature, film, television, theatre, even music. War is (the portrayal of it, not war itself) my favourite - and I've been wondering why.
War is deeply tragic - and it is my prayer we would never have to fight another war again; but taking a page out of revelations, I suppose we just have to trust God and his infinite wisdom. (note to self).
But I've realised why - War; war is the epitome of humanity. In that short span of time, you see every possible side of humanity. You see society put its divisions and bias aside, you see everybody unite for a common cause. You see what humanity could be, and how ironic and plainly tragic it is that only in such a time of desperation you see such beauty. You see the strangest men become the strongest, and you see a true solidarity.
You see, at the end of the day - we are, for all our differences, human.
one and the same.
Sad to think that within the quickest time of war recovery; everything goes back to the way it was, as if we didn't learn a single thing.
