Callous

War is gruesome. It is dangerous, and vicious and full of violence. This is all true, But at the core, war is emotional. Not in the sense of warriors breaking down into tears on the battlefield, but in the sense of a clash of ideals leading into heated conflict. War has many sides. It has the anger of the fight, the hot passion that draws blood, and the people at home, who mourn for the lost souls. War is not flat, but almost rounded with its variety. It evicts every emotion.

That is why my eyes make people want to fight. It continues the longing for feeling. Forgiveness and mercy are for the weak, for those who pretend to feel strongly about something, but want to end the fiery passion. So people may argue that both sides are calloused. However, this is wrong. Because if they are arguing about the issue, than they have a clear standpoint. And then this clash of ideals will lead to conflict, and a continuance of that raw emotion. Therefore, those who want peace, want to end feeling. For they have pity and mercy, but they lack a spine. They pretend to feel, but unless you believe in oneself, and your opinions above all else, you are truly the calloused one.

This is why war is eternal. People will always want to feel something. Anything at all, even if its hate, because that hate for another can lead to love for oneself. And when you believe and love yourself, you make an imprint on the world. Even if it is just footprints in the snow. They may wash away when the season fades to spring, but the icy chill you got from the experience is a time in your life when you felt something. And that experience will forever be with you.

So, in conclusion, war is a necessity. Without that raw emotion, life would be without feelings. And why would we want to go through life as an observer. Live your life to its fullest, and always believe in yourself. That is what I stand for as a promoter of turmoil and chaos. That is what war stands for in eternity.

unfeeling; lacking pity or mercy

Author's Note: Was meant to be updated for 12.17.10. Actually updated 12.27.10. However, That Friday I had the Winter Sports Spectacular for my school. And even as lame as that name is, as a member of the varsity cheerleading team for the second year, we must go to the opening game and cheer our hearts out. Anyway, had to wear my uniform all day, and then right after school had to run to the mall to buy the rest of my Secret Santa gift. Got some admiring stares and some weird looks at the mall. Well I actually loved it, I love that uniform, so much fun to fly and twirl in the skirt. Anyway, we lost the game by a few points D:, but overall our boys did really well! Then I hung out with friends until about midnight when I called it a night, went home and fell asleep. Sorry, I do realize that this note is probably going to be as long as the chapter I just updated, but wanted to explain why I couldn't update. Don't Worry! I will update the rest of the missing chapters before the New Year. Thank you to anyone who is actually reading this long ramble about my day.

Thank you, and please Read and REVIEW! 3
