Economics of War

The thig we really don't like to hear
is that war is sometimes necessary,
that destruction is not always a bad thing.

It sucks because no one (okay, most people)
don't like the idea of getting hurt,
and the natural progression is that anyone
getting hurt is a bad thing, but somehow
that translates to some that even a wrong
to right a wrong can't become a right.

Which is complete hogwash.

Sometimes, no matter how bad it gets,
no matter the cost, the right thing
no matter how wrong it seems
is still the right thing. The whole
world can say it's wrong and it can still
be right. Right and wrong, black and white,
sometimes neither is the right one,
and that's why we have the area we
always talk about but never believe in,
the impossibility of having your
cake and eating it, too, beauty and brains,
a great idea and working reality.

But no, we believe in the first impression,
and we always judge the book by its cover.
Sometimes we say the right things and don't
understand that we don't actually believe them.

The world is full of more complexity than you can understand.

But try doing something about that,
and all you become is fodder for history,
a joke and a dunce, not something that
simply can't be understood, but shouldn't.
Because that just wouldn't be right for the rest of us.

It would be destructive.

And while it seems I'm saying that in all good sarcasm,
I may be, but I also mean it, and I mean
that creation is destruction, and destruction is creation.

You can't end up with anything more than what
you already had, just a greater understanding
of its potential.
