Peace or War
i just spoke to my grandpa to invite him to my graduation, and this is the first time he has EVER made me feel shitty about what im doing. The part that bothers me the most is that he asked me what my plans are for life, and i told him that i want to create and run a peace organization, and he was just so pessimistic about it and not very understanding. He is very conservative and has been in wars, and he just doesnt understand. It makes me really sad when people try and avoid the wars that even go on now... like in Sudan. I have been learning about civil wars lately and watched a really disturbing video about Rwanda today and it just amazes me that people do not help. The UN tried to hlep for awhile, but then the peacekeepers were told to leave.. for no good reason at all. Its fucked up how our world works. All i want to do is make a difference, whether it be helping people out of poverty, or creating peace.. it doesnt matter.. i just want to help, and my grandpa just kinda frowned upon it like its such a dreamer thing to do.. but its not. its so possible to make a difference, and i will.
