I was reading a book once that was written in the early 1930's. In the prologue, the author actually said that he hoped that the League of Nations would finally enable mankind to end all wars and promise a bright future for humanity. At first I laughed because of what history has taught me. Then I was sad because I was reminded we are all slaves to hindsight. Then I was scared because I realized no matter how sure we are of the future, fate will continue to make fools of us all. Yet, I was comforted in my faith that its more important to love those around you than to control things you cannot see. A touch of cynicism, a lot of empathy, a dose of rationality, but the rest riding on faith... that's me, oh and I hate raisins, I can't stand the taste of raisins, they look like little pieces of rat shit.
