The thing that I hold higher than any other is human life. I cannot accept a solution that needlessly slaughters human beings. Nor will I. Last night, as the announcements were made, I cried. It isn't because my friends who are in the military might die, it is because someone, anyone, will die. There is an extremely minimal number of people on this earth that I want to die. And while on the one hand I often think that life seems fairly worthless in the cosmic scheme of things, I switch between that belief and the one that each life is extremely important because it does not matter on the whole. If all we are granted is this small time to affect things, each other, ourself, then why waste it with hatred and war? I cannot understand. And I will not accept it.
