Not “if I have to kill you in a civil war” but “when I have to kill you in a civil war”.
Man, why does humanity have to be like this?
I only wish it wasn't this way. Nobody asked, but I'm gonna say it anyway - (looks around to make sure no spies are listening) - my favorite book is "Lost Horizon." Yeeee heee there I said it. YES, YES I'm A PACIFIST and even more alarming, I'd rather live in a peaceful and friendly world than a war torn one. (I know how insane that sounds but it's true).
Sorry, there was some interference, mind repeating into the wire?
He said, "I'd rather live in a ceaselessly unfriendly world, and a war-torn one!" No need for alarm!
I've actually had people tell me I'm stupid for wanting to live in a peaceful world, and how much they prefer the idea of having to be weaponized and in battle with other people all the time. To me, that's pretty damn pathetic, but I also feel like whatever world you dream of is the world you deserve to inhabit.
