I think this follow one a little bit from what my last post
was talking about and then takes it a bit further.
I was watching a alphas (the tv show) and made me think
about what peace is worth and that the differences between people is too much
some time. The show displays well a world just like our own and uses people
with "abilities" as a good was of creating a "Us" verses
"Them" mentality that we see is our everyday lives. Discrimination is
far too common in our world, disliking, hating, hurting, people just because
they are different, just because you don't understand, or more to the point
don't want to understand, is wrong and shallow minded. In saying that who am I,
or anyone for that matter, to be the judge or what is right and wrong?
A line in the show talks about "do you want ashes or
paradise?" referring to the idea that in 40 years we will have destroyed
ourselves and there will be nothing left, so what is the lives or some in comparison
to the lives of all? Would you kill 3 billion people if there was a 99.99%
chance that in 40 years that we would almost wipe ourselves to extinction? would
you kill the 3 billion to save 3 billion?
Now that's a question, and not easily answered, yes there
will be people who will jump on either side of the answer and then there are
people whole would think about it a lot, with a 0.01% chance of survival if you
don't would you be willing to become 3 billion peoples savior at the cost of
becoming 3 billion peoples grim reaper?
Myself I am an optimistic guy, i see the hope i see the
potential in people, so even though it may only be a 0.01% chance i think it's
worth it. The human race is a stubborn one to say the least, we always find a
way to survive, a way to persevere no matter the odds, that's just how we are,
awesome (for the most part).
Remember that one good memory is worth all the bad ones.
Sorry for the ramble
Stay awesome
