Just to reflect !

These are Brian Orend's questions on the matters of war, I see them as an onset to reflection: "War's violent nature, and controversial social effects, raise troubling moral questions for any thoughtful person. Is war always wrong? Might there be situations when it can be a justified, or even a smart, thing to do? Will war always be part of human experience, or can we do something to make it disappear? Is war an outcome of unchangeable human nature or, rather, of changeable social practice? Is there a fair and sensible way to wage war, or is it all hopeless, barbaric slaughter? When wars end, how should post-war reconstruction proceed, and who should be in charge? What are our rights, and responsibilities, when our own society makes the move to go to war?"

T S Eliot 's Burnt Norton

I hope you follow me in this "flow" over time!
"Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.

War

Everyone asks me why I chose to work on this subject-WAR. And my answer is always the same, man has survived fighting for something, we all go through our lives fighting our own wars. We are humans, war has been side by side with us throughout our history.
Nowadays life everywhere we know it has a war being fought, why? Because men believe in something and keep on making wars, keep on thinking they are right and a war is needed!

Contradições

Sempre que me sento e penso vou escrever, vem aquele bloqueio que quem escreve tão bem conhece! Um calafrio no estomago, as mãos a tremerem, as incertezas, o desconforto e a sensação que ainda não lemos tudo, que falta mais um artigo, mais umas páginas, enfim, as palavras fogem no teclado, e com elas o conforto e a certeza de que sabemos e vamos escrever!
Devia fazer como Bradbury diz "write everyday!" I have to start time flies!
