To Everybody,
I think I will never understand why people insist on misunderstanding
other people and then use it as justification to do bad things to them.
This happens too often all over the world to make me believe it could
be unintentional. I have seen whole families who were tortured to death
in the most horrible ways just because they had slightly different
views. Not even that. It happens to people who are just THOUGHT to be
people who were different. Here in the fort we don't kill people but is
the attitude and what causes that kind of thing which we see here
sometimes really any different? In degree maybe but not in kind.
We are the most hated people in all the world. Why do we have to
deliberately make that worse HERE? Why do we have to act like we hate
each other? Is it because we like children that we have to act like the
most misbehaving of them here? Can we ever grow out of our forever
unreachable lost childhood and grow up? I don't know the answers to
these questions. I don't think any of us do. Will we ever? Do we really
deserve to live? Does humanity? Sometimes I think about that. Then I
try to prove that because we CAN do good we might eventually learn to
be better. I'm still working on that.
