2.1.10 Day 6

so i actually didnt get to do a post last night
so today i guess ill do two. i remember sitting in antrho, and we were watching a movie about the effect of war on culture, the human aspect of war. the opening line of the movie was what struck me the most. it was something about how in the news all we hear is the money and political effect of war, but what about the people? arent the people the base of politics and money?

another striking part of the movie was definitely when they were interviewing a woman and she said that not only are our children dying, but so are yours. and yeah we hear of soldiers deaths everyday, but thats just a more touching way of putting it i think. a few weeks ago i remember when i was just cruising around the internet i stumbled upon a video of soldiers returning home and vising the schools of their children for a surprise visit, so clearly the children didnt know it, and both the kid and the soldier were just tearing up crying with excitement and happiness. and the videos brought me to the point of tears. now thats strange, its something thats never really happened to me. not many things bring me to the point of tears, usually its things like extreme sadness but not many things that i see. i guess its just a very touching thing.
