Its a part of life… as long as there is a human race, it is inevitable. But it doesnt change how uneccessary it is. You learn about yourself very quickly, in an isolation uncomparible to what any one may think without having experiencing it for themselves. To each person it takes its own tolls and exposes the inner being whether light or dark. Is it enlightening, yes it is, about yourself not the condition of the human race, and while i learned alot about myself, i could of very well of discovered myself in a slower method… as well, I didnt have to learn everything i did about myself, so things are left better unknown.
Love your nation and defend it whole heartly, but its not an experience one NEEDS.
