Hmm. Churchill, Nixon, hippie.World leaders and an average man. Is two fingers in a "V" shape for victory, or is it a universal sign of peace? How can it be both when the meanings are complete opposites? Maybe there cannot be peace without war. We've seen it in history dozens of times. The unification of Hawaii or Japan. The Mongol invasion of China. William Wallace and Scotland. Or, maybe nonviolent protests are the answer. Ghandi, Martin Luther, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King. Or maybe slow terrorist attacks, like Guy Fawkes, the Irish Republican Army, maybe the Resistances of Nazi-occupied countries during WWII, or even al-Qaeda or Hamas. Or maybe there is no way to peace. Maybe we are doomed to fight each other over our race, our religion, or even where we live. But sometimes I just wish that we could all get along. I wish that no one should have to live in fear or die because of who they are. I really do. I wish that people could open their eyes to the horrors that are going on in this world.
