Even a couple years after I watched "The Day After" wehn I was 6 years old I remember waking up my family in the middle of the night crying and making them assure me that "The Day After isn't going to happen". The last 2 night I've had reoccuring dreams that have been something like a mix of that and War of the Worlds; for no particular reason that I can think of. Not the ridiculous kind of dreams, but the kind where you can think normally about waht's going on and for a plit second after you wake up you're still kinda flushed with the beliefs and the fear. The point is: It Sucked.
Now concidering everything that's happening.. I am now wondering if it is all but assured that we will see a nuclear holocost in our lifetimes. We cannot stop countries from developing. The power to destroy yourself is a natural step in the progress of a society(no?). Though we may be able to stall it... we will not stop it.
The one thing that we can stop is from people hating us. How this is possible seems more and more like a fantasy as days go by and hatred spreads. Everyone seems to be willing to defend this and defend that and yet have no willingness to deal with the reson that you are being attacked. We are nothing but ships passing in the night to one another as nations of the Earth and seem unable to share the ocean.
Yes. The way things are going I think that this is going to happen, and I am afraid. I am afraid for those that I love. Now I may go on day to day and live my nice normal life and pretend that I do not believe this... but it gets kind of hard wehn I see the type of people that are in charge of keeping it from happening.
How do you people deal with this? just put it out of your mind? oops
