Keep the faith. We shall overcome.

After all these years, we (the USA) are gonna work out a deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan. The war really was unnecessary. That pretty much goes for any and every war. But still, we persist. We wage senseless war after senseless war. We humans are fallible. Very fallible. We make mistake after mistake after mistake. And when it comes to war, we never learn. We assume that wars are necessary. That we must kill each other. Make each other miserable. Exploit each other. Hate each other. Even amongst ourselves, we wage continuous wars. Between the Republicans and Democrats. The whites and the blacks. One ethnic group against another ethnic group. Even men and women wage war with each other. Little wonder that thousands of marriages break up. Daily. Often, it's a form of war. A mutual hatred and distrust. And here I am today. Keeping my head above the morass. I'm in love. And I tell my kindred soul to not worry. We'll survive. We shall overcome. Keep the faith. --Jim Broede
