from the mind of critic-9/22/17

From the mind of critic: “If 2 cultures are historical enemies, do newer generations know why? Are the stories they’re told the truth, or a subjective attempt to subvert critical thought? Do peoples’ who have been engaged in conflict for centuries want peace, but are cynical of its success because of countless failures? Does blazing a new trail require destruction of paths to nowhere? Whether it’s a culture who has acheived its own country after many wars, or a culture who is still fighting for one, everybody wants to live in peace. Worn out cliches only dissappear, when we stop placing our faith in them. Once we see each other in ourselves, we’ll realize that whether somebody is Israeli or Palestinian, Indian or Pakistani, Sunni or Shiite, Hmong, Kurd, Catalon, Roma, Rohinja or others dying to breathe free, that conflict only exists because we say it does. Violence and darkness is replaced by peace and love, only once we realize that when we kill each other, we’re really killing ourselves.” 🙂
