gray pasture

there’s an exhibition, which is “transforming the human nature” in school today till wednesday. i went for what i thought was a casual visit but i soon realized it really meant something for me. i had my own opinions of it & i was pretty surprised people did not have the same opinions on the subject with me.

 

there were 3 sections. the 1st being a comparison between people who have food on their tables and people who do not and the narrator tells us that shouldn’t some country allocate the same amount of money used to research nuclear weapons be used on underprivileged people?

i understand his point. but, think about it, i’m randomly taking two countries: if i’m the US while you’re north korea, you’re suspected of creating nuclear bombs. and there’s little doubt that you would use it on me and harming my citizens if you managed to achieve that. you would undoubtedly use it to control every country.

what could i do? i think allocating some money to research on it would be fine since you did not sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and had openly declared that you possessed nuclear weapons. i feel threatened. it doesn’t really mean that i am researching to create a better nuclear weapon than yours but i could be researching the effects or ways to counter it.

if i do as what the narrator adamantly insists, IF you would attack me with your nuclear bombs one day, and i have no resistance to offer my citizens, wouldn’t they suffer more?

at which point, the narrator was obviously trying very hard to get me of his duty and throw me over to section 2.

oh and there was a picture of a guy on a small shabby boat searching for something. the caption on the picture was that he was searching for plastics. i asked him: why was he searching for plastics?

he gave me something vague but i pressed on… unintentionally… i wasn’t thinking! i was not aware that he didn’t know the answer actually. i just wanted to know. he said that the guy was finding plastics bottles where he could get hold of clean water in it =.=

i later got to know from qi that the guy was actually getting plastics to sell. certain plastics are recyclable like straws.

 

section 2 narrator is pretty good but his beliefs give me the impression that he only based on all of these on black and white. i believe a great pasture of gray exist in between. he talked about the world war II where america dropped nuclear bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki.

i asked him, do you think america had a better alternative?

he said yes. but didn’t state what it was exactly, but brought me back to where he thinks that it could be resolved in a peaceful way.

not meaning to be disrespectful to any parties but if it could have, i don’t think such measures would have been taken. it was horrible and its effects lasted even now.

in addition, he claims america totally knew that their nuclear bombs would bring about such damage (effects which lasted so long) to japan. then again, how would you know for sure?

he talked about greed of the americans to bring about their nuclear bombs. what about the greed of japan when they conquered us all? i don’t think i would have to remind you of their actions.

think about it this way, would japan stop their cruelty if the nuclear bomb was not dropped? you might say yes. but i shall ask you, when exactly?

your anchestors might have got tortured already and you won’t even be here telling me that they would have stopped, given the opportunity and time.

 

the 3rd section was about the berlin wall and at that point, i was too afraid to be labelled “the bitch” to continue arguing. so i only commented that the berlin wall was kinda thin LOLOL.

 

at this point, you might find it hard to believe, but i’m really all for peace but i think defending your nation should be a priority as well.

… unless there comes a day where every single country sworn to never ever create nuclear bombs to attack each other and to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and then, that would be the day where everyone is happy, secure and the government would definitely have more money to help the underprivileged.

 

that is my vision.
