The change in the cult mindset has to start somewhere.

Humans aren't good or bad, they're as morally neutral as rocks.

Yes, I understand that to be true. I accept that as true. But not pretending it isn’t true is beyond me. I can’t remember the name of the book but the Japanese author Kobo Abe wrote a story about a man who literally turns to wood kind of like Kafka but quite a few steps weirder. But the message was about coming to terms with what you’re talking about.

This book:

Also deals with that ****. Understanding that truth is one thing but living outside the illusion would make me totally dysfunctional. That **** doesn’t just **** with big questions like war but warps out everything. Maybe it’s somewhere I need to go but I don’t want to end up like the dude in Knut Hamsun’s Hunger.

Bruh, the same people who stayed at home and didn't fight in whatever war could have easily fought in that war. The people who spit on veterans probably are no better than the people they spit on, and if they see themselves differently than it's probably only because they have the good fortune to indulge their own self-righteousness having not had to make any hard decisions.

Better to just see the warfaring population as no different than the civilians, because they probably are no different.

Yes but those illusions apply to everything and I have to play a role like everyone else.

Man oh man oh man......

Frowny and Hawk, how do you feel about America's aggressive involvement in WWII?

Germany, Italy, and Russia were in the process of taking over Europe and Japan had just bombed the United States.

How do you feel about WWII veterans? Should they have been spat upon?

Good point Chula! ��
