The world is strange–
full of constant conflict, be it subtle or forthright.
Why?
I would have it more “boring” and more peaceful, more joyous.
Conflict should be a principle of drama, not of life,
but I’ve come to the conclusion that will
never happen.
We’re not collaborative; we’re competitive.
I just wish I knew why.
We’re hairless apes, but even apes deserve better.
Nonetheless, conflict and competition,
be they cancers or creators,
are ever-present.
They’re part of human nature.
But I wish they weren’t.
O God, I wish they weren’t.

9th Grade English proves ever-relevant.
Kubrick lives.
It’s not 9th grade English that taught this piece’s writer about 2001: A Space Odyssey.
But that doesn’t make your class less wonderful. It’s my favorite academic class I’ve ever taken! Love you Mr. G!
Interesting.
I too am attracted to the idea of a more “boring” world
I understand the concept of being at peace with “Nothing”.
Interesting.
