Why do we fight?

Surely, some will answer that we fight for peace, but that's an impossibility.  To fight for peace is to destory a house to add a room.

Others argue that we fight for justice, but that, too, is absurd.  We have no common definition for justice, only personal meanings that vary wildly.  Communists believe true equality is just, whereas a Representative government advertises majority's rule.

Perhaps we fight for revenge.  But that leads to a question; who made the first offense?  Why?  For money?  Power?  Land?  No, in a peaceful society there would be no need to fight for these.

That leaves only the single, horrible possibility.  They fought for fun.  Violence started as entertainment and continued for revenge.  People didn't realize how precious life is and spent it needlessly.

But does anyone realize this even now?  We still wage wars for nothing, have fights for fun under the guise of sports.  The Olympics are meant to be a mission of peace, but they're a competition that easily turns violent.  And even if these wars were absent, we fill our lives with boredom and do things to kill time.  Who really values life?

FPAR Chapter 1  Two men sat across from each other at a desk.  One is wearing a white lab coat, balding with a white beard.  The other is in more casual clothes, jeans and a band tee-shirt.  He seems young, barely in his twenties.  The walls of the room are decorated with diplomas, certificates, and awards, all reading the same name: Doctor Arthur Madison.  
The two are already midway through their conversation.
"Yes, yes, I know what you'll do.  It's simple, isn't it?  You just cut a hole in my skull, cut a hole in her skull, and switch the brains!"
"No, actually.  We shatFPAR Chapter 1 by ~Incathuga
Drifter  Terra ducked under a small awning to stay out of the rain.  There was no point in trying to go any farther in this storm, so she decided to stop until it cleared up.  She sat on the dusty porch and pulled her coat tighter before closing her eyes and trying to get some sleep.

A young woman came out of the house and looked at the girl.  She waved for her husband to come outside and help bring the poor teen in.  They set her on a beat-up couch and put out a glass of water for when she woke up before going to bed themselves.

Once in a Lullaby chapter 1 Marius looked up from his spot on the lone green hill near the city.  Dorothy, one of his best friends from school, walked to him and sat down.  “You’re deciding to skip too?” he asked after lying his head back down.

“It’s just English.  They’re having us read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in depth.”  She tossed one of the two copies she had to Marius.  “It’s one of those old kid stories.  You could finish it in a couple minutes if you wanted.”

The Violinist It had been a long boat ride.  Flying may have been faster, but he never liked planes.  If man was meant to fly, he would have wings for himself.

It started raining when the boat landed.  It wasn’t a torrent, just the kind of drizzle that makes everyone feel melancholy.  Even with such slow rain, anyone who came out would be soaked.  He liked it that way.

One of the new cars so popular in town splashed our man as he walked slowly down the sidewalk.  He nearly lost his hat from that.

New writing? EGADS!

:iconincathuga:

Mmkay, so I have a new idea for a story and the first chapter-ish bit of it.  'Tis called "For Purely Aesthetic Reasons" (abbreviated FPAR) and if you're reading this, the first bit is probably up.  Or about to be up.  Or something like that.

But yeah, I might start updating somewhat regularly/more often than I was.  Hopefully.

Eek! I completely forgot about having devart until I was linked to something here.
Anyway, I might write something for you (or dedicated to you, mebe), but no promises. Not too much free time over here.
Hmm... I could do a modern version of Canterbury Tales. My sophomore English teacher had everyone in the class start something like that, so I could tweak it a bit to make it decent. Thanks for the idea!

I do, obviously. So the kind of person who forgets things they don't look at often.
Hmm... I need something for NaNo. Mind if I do that Canterbury Tales modern version for you in November? It'll actually get me to write, I think.

True. There's also The Hobbit, but I'm not including that in this read-through. There are also his other middle-earth stories, but I don't own them.
