Kub933's Journal

I have so much appreciation for being able to talk like this and not just as idle discussion or “looking for problems to solve” because just as you mentioned in the past that peace on earth was your favourite subject I can now unreservedly say the same. And not just as a subject to be discussed but as an overarching goal in my life.

I will continue here so I’m not spamming @cross.chrono’s journal :laughing:

Looking back now there were so many times that this deep and sincere desire for peace on earth manifested itself. During my trip to New Zealand we were visiting @Sonyaxx’s extended family and one of them was this young girl that we got to spend quite a lot of time with. I experienced her to be this incredible beacon of naiveté, an absolute joy to interact with.

It was undeniably clear that she wasn’t merely a pawn to be moulded by society, here was a fellow human being, albeit a young one. Yet this fellow human being would very soon be subjected to something that would stamp out the last bits of naiveté out of her. Her joy and ease would be replaced by doom and gloom.

When we were spending time with her I became very aware of the ‘imprinting’ that takes place, that it wasn’t good enough for me to act in a moral way, I knew that simply by ‘being’ sorrow and malice (in whatever degree) she would already be ‘imprinted’. With something so precious at stake (that very naive enjoyment of life) it simply wasn’t good enough to nurse sorrow and malice in any degree. It was clear that anything other than actual innocence would hurt her, actually hurt her. And although she was born with those same instincts and therefore not innocent, she simply cannot know any better just yet.

There was his deep and sincere intent to bring about a world where children are not subjected to such an appalling fate. What a shame that this exquisite joy at being alive is turned into something so horrendous that only suicide or belief in ‘other worlds’ can ease the pain. There was very much a sense that I would gladly die for this.
