Diary Entry 1

The rain poured all night, lightning striking the backyard, and drops falling like an event, like something important.

Strangely, no one talks about war, they only report "on war," it is simply an essential part of the news. However, what is it that causes men to kill one another, and to risk their lives? Where do these murderous/suicidal impulses arise? The first answer that jumps to mind is: simplicity. Ending a life does not take much, and ending many is far simpler than just one.
