Our Fight

Violence is ugly. But wipe all violence, and you'll end up with a lifeless world. This is probably why we can't get rid of it : violence is so thoroughly linked with life.
But there is a 'healthy' violence and a more despicable one. By 'healthy', I mean a violence you use as a last recourse to help your body stay alive (like a carp gulping down a mosquito for breakfast, or someone fighting back to save his skin). But there is another form of violence : violence for Violence's sake. I've just watched a frightening video about young people destroying cars and shop windows and trampling people, and another video about young chaps from the AF (Action Française, crazy integral nationalists). My, my. After this, you can't help but ponder : how to put an end to this ?
*bitter smile*
I think most of us have thought about this. Most of us want peace and happiness. But peace can't be imposed. It does seem hopeless, doesn't it ? There will always be violence and hate, but ! One more smile kindled on someone's lips is a wonderful thing indeed. So of course we fight to protect the wonder and beauty of life. And I'm completely with you on that point, Fellows.

I have decided that I have no nationality. I'm not French anymore : I have declared myself Citizen of the Earth. I say, every language is my mother tongue, just give me time to learn them all. As if by uniting all languages inside me I could bring together the smoldering tapestry of humankind. *another bitter smile*

Such a post for a return on Blogger after a gap of a month ! I admit I wallow in "Dramatics" (or Romantic antics, if you prefer) too much these days. Nothing the oncoming examinations won't cure...Talking of exams, I've still got a pile of books waiting to be read, and look at what I'm doing. *shakes head*
