Ah, the illusion of being in control. All my life I've heard that history repeats itself. I've used the line in songs. I like the sound of it. Now, as I read over the correspondence between Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, one thought sticks in my mind:
If one bunch wants war and the other wants peace, war wins.
Yeah, rock always breaks scissors. Paper always covers rock. Scissors always cut paper. They're not likely to give me a Nobel Peace Prize for figuring this out. I'll have to settle for a broken heart.
You don't ever quit fighting, though. You don't ever quit loving.
War is far less complicated agreement between nations who can't face peace. Peace is hard and takes time and love - which is too much for some people.
