i initially came online to blog. finished my e4 essay around 12 plus, couldn't stop writing, just went on and on about anything i could think about. i think i wrote like 6 sides, with only 4 points. later when i finished the whole thing did i remember i missed a point hmm but well it was too late. anyway i seem to have this incessant urge to blog these days. there just seems to be so much to talk about. like the lit essay just now too, didn't usually write so much last time. and i don't think i blogged so much either. maybe because its so close to exams. and i usually tend to do other things other than study near exams. actually i came online to blog about war. and how utterly sad it makes me.
got inspired by Pat Barker's Regeneration to blog just now. there was one part where Burns had some sorf of a fit in this moat or smth, and Rivers went there to look for him and he thinks, Nothing justifies this. Nothing, nothing, nothing. and i agree. there never really is much justification in war is there. when i was watching The Last Samurai, i actually cried. felt so upset over the waste of all the lives lost in war, touched by the spirit and determination of the samurais, and so angry at how it takes so many deaths before a fact that could have been realised before the deaths had occured is actually realised. i also cried when i read regeneration i think.
war is just so damn horrible. it affects everyone and everything. spares nothing. regeneration just emphasises that. all the horrifying psychological traumas that the war hospital patients go through, the vacant eyes of the limbless people in the medical hospital. sigh why fight... why waste lives. but then again right i'm immensely sleepy at the moment so what i've typed might all be wrong. ohwell.
