"eh eh eehh em!" Dragoon clears his throat before he addresses the crowd.
"There is some things I want to bring up while we are in a state of rebuilding. Many of us will be looking to see a better future for ourselves, our kids, and hopefully our grandchildren some day. So while we are on the idea of the future, and hoping for a better future and yada yada. I'd like to bring up some topics for us to debate about or reflect upon." "The first thing I'd like to bring up is the subject of blood lining. Holding grudges for many many generations and ultimately causing stress, war or death to your children or other people's children. I am wondering if there are any long time blood lining battles that will ever stop happening. Is it possible to even consider forgiveness and understanding of each other? Or will people continue to beat there heads against a wall and continue wasting our young children's lives over a grudge forged many many lifetimes ago. Many times a whole city or crew or district will be killed to get to a select few, or to weed out the possibility of a certain person being there. Or sometimes things backfire and you get everyone you love killed because of some grudge you were chasing. Either way the point is, many of times 100's of people die in a result of some ancient grudge. Many of the casualties have nothing to do with it." "Now I'm not saying this will work in all entirety because sometimes some cunts just need to die or the wound is too fresh. But I'd like to think that there are some grudges out there that could be buried with a little peace, understanding and forgiveness. Try putting yourself in someone else's shoes for a change. Perspective is everything. The difference between bad and good, can sometimes easily be changed with a change of perspective."
"This also brings me to my other topic.... I'd like to think that most of us are born good people. But we all have a monster in us somewhere deep down. When it comes to our leaders in this world, i like to think that many of them went into the position in an attempt to do great things for our world. To change our world for the better, and to bring their people out of persecution and safeguard them. For many people this proves to be true.... for a while, then one day they realize that they are the almighty say so in the world. Power sets in and the monster edges a little closer to the surface. The monster then will first show it's appearance in a small act to protect the one's they love. So you think it's a good monster, and you think it's here to help you. Next thing you know that same monster is out slaying anything and everything even the one's you promised to protect. When in reality you tried to do so much good that it became bad all of a sudden. And now it's too late. Your a monster." "This monster I speak of, is it possible for us to have leaders who fight the monster? Or is everybody just waiting for their turn to get the driver seat of the monster? I can tell you one thing, in reflection of being a monster you look back and wonder if you could have done things differently. Not hurt as many people. You ask yourself how did so much bad and death happen in the pursuit of good."
"Is it possible for us to come together as a community and make our world a better place?" |
