Why cant things be the way they used to be?

Question

I remember before 911, I was happy, and I felt love. But after those attacks and the things I saw I kinda changed. I have trouble trusting, and really feeling love for anyone. I look at peace, and love as wimpish and weak. I also remember when Nick Berg was beheaded, I thought how could those savages do something so horrible, and inhuman to a living person, I mean come on the guy was still alive when the cut his head off! Because Ive seen all these things I kinda have a hate for peace, and support for the war, but in a way I think why can't things be how they used to be because I would be a different person. I kinda want peace, and love. Thats just say I feel like I am in defensive mode. What could be wrong with me, and please no childish comments, I want mature opinions!

Answer 1

You've been exposed to the neocons' point of view so long that you've come to believe it. the right has been trying to equate diplomacy with weaknes sand to conflate discussion with appeasement.



The terrorists are some bad individuals. But if they succeed in turning Americans into a fearful, joyless people, the damage will be far greater than 9/11 ever was.



I pray that you'll seek out a trusted counselor with whom you can discuss these issues. And i pray that your spirit will be 5enewed and that you'll oncea gain be able to see people as God sees them.

Answer 2

Mature opinions, okay you're just as bad as those men that crash those planes in the side of those towers. This kind of thinking is the reason our soldiers are dying in a senseless never ending wars. Violence only begets more violence doesn't that saying mean anything to you. War is only a temporary solution to problems, eventually the hatred will rise again and then war will break out all over again.



WW1 only lead to WW2, which lead to the Cold War, which of course communist Russia (USSR) then fueled the Vietnam War(where do you think the Vietnamese got their weapons from). USSR breaks down and distributes their weapons to the highest bidders. Suddam Hussein was one of these bidders. Then Suddam invades Kuwait America then enters another war, the Gulf War. Hatred for America builds from the Gulf War and then the terrorist retaliate with the strikes on the towers.



Now where back in Iraq creating even more hatred towards America. Who knows when this senseless cycle of violence will end maybe, just maybe peace is the only way to stop these wars. Obtaining peace through wars is impossible.

Answer 3

To me it sounds like you are suffering from post traumatic disorder. I hate to advise therapy because it sounds cliche, but think about it if you agree...



Also, the terrorists hate Peace. If you allow them to take away your peace and love than you have joined them in likeness.



Pay tribute to Nick Berg by being everything they are not. Compassionate human being that allows themselves to love.
