I try and keep myself feeling as young as possible.
I was very lucky to have the parents that God gave me. They were very young to be parents. My mom was 16 and my dad was 18 when I was born. My dad worked his fingers to the bone to give my sister and I what we needed and wanted.
As for countries that I was in during conflicts..... Iraq, Bosnia, Afganistan, Somalia, South Africa (peace keeping UN missions) and Kirkuk. Got out right before the 911 shit took place. I was in Desert Storm and the small conflicts that followed.
I like to go the Portland airport (when I can) when a unit is coming back state side and shake their hands. I know what they went through. Its tough returning to the real world after the shit you see in situations like that. The old saying "war is hell" is spot on.
sounds like you had to go thru some serious shit, and yet you are here, alive... i bet you are lucky about that!
yeah... War, War never changes... the old ones declare war, and send the young ones, to get killed for them, while the indutrial-military complex gets more power and money each day, sitting warm and dry on their fat,egocentric asses.
thinking about the next deadly weapon they could invent,advertise, and earn money for just for getting more and more and more money, until they can wipe their asses with a 1000 dollar bill,till they get wound. (and not beeing interested in anyones life, besides their own)
"Millions of people have nothing to eat, and no place to live...Who cares, im gonna buy me a new Benz tomorrow, from the money i made due to their death"
i simply hate those people... and they only have one natural enemy,whom they could not buy, or silence: Cancer.
that should mean no offense to anyone here! (except,he is one of those people.. but i dont believe that!
)
you soldiers have to take the beating, the politicians and uberrich should get...
i can fully understand, that beeing there, shrapnell raining, and bullets whistling, as they pass you only by centimeters, can make you not only psychically instable, due to the immense pressure you have to bear there. It can, and probably will destroy you, till there is nothing left. the only chance to escape that, is a really strong heart, and personality.
my heart hurts, when i see all that cruelty out there... a church, worshipping satanic behavior more than godly... leaders that only think about control and power... and the neverending story, about people loving to hurt others, to gain personal power, just to feel themselves better, more important.
if there is a god in heaven, and it might be (just not material, more like some kind of energy)
he surely cries about, what his own creation does to itself.
A wonder has to happen, to pull humanity out of the black hole, it pushed itself in.
I worry about that each day, because i feel, not only me,personally has to help to make this wonder possible. each human, whether black,white,red etc ; whether christian,muslim,buddhist; whether old or young, wheter hetero,homo,or bisexual... everyone has to help....
Or we might end, like the Dinosaurs did.
Roaches will be the new "Kings" of creation then.
Ironic,isnt it?
I fear the day, when the last Fish has been catched, the last Tree chopped down,and the last Animal has died. Because then,when its much too late, the Humans will see:
You cant eat Money.
just my 2 cents, i hope i didnt enraged someone from the team!
EDIT: here in germany body height is measured in metres. im 1.90
