What they mean.
I can't wager a guess.
Are these souls screaming for freedom?
Will more turmoil be the result?
Stability in that part of the world.
Should be the concern.
Of ALL.
I treasure the words below.
Especially the last one.
"You have no enemies, you say?
Alas, my friend, the boast is poor;
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You've hit no traitor on the hip,
You've dashed no cup from perjured lip,
You've never turned the wrong to right,
You've been a coward in the fight"
- Charles McKay
(1814-1889)
"War on the other hand is such a terrible thing,
That no man, especially a Christian man,
Has the right to assume the responsibility of starting it."
- Leo Tolstoy
(1828-1910)
"Life isn't like a box of chocolates....
It's more like a jar of jalapeno's.
What you do today,
Might burn your rear-end tomorrow."
"Inside every older person,
Is a younger person,
Wondering what happened."
"Adversity is the trial of principle.
Without it a man hardly knows,
Whether he is honest or not.
- Henry Fielding
(1707-1754)
"Peace and stability
Require both a military
And a political Solution-
But the political rests
On the military one
Rather than vice versa."
- John O'Sullivan
"Strive to be the greatest man in your country,
and you may be disappointed.
Strive to be the best and you may succeed:
he may well win the race that runs by himself."
- Benjamin Franklin
ONE OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE
"Once I saw a Horseman.
Riding a pale horse.
In Vietnam.
But he did not see me."
- Ricardo
"Light travels faster than sound,
That is why some people appear bright,
Until you hear them speak."
I hope you found something in those words.
About one of Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
In Vietnam.
One day a bullet crack past my head.
Those that speak about humming like bees.
Never have heard that sound.
But I guess I'm lucky to have heard the sound.
few inches more toward the inside.
I wouldn't be here typing any of this.
Well take care.
Semper Fidelis
Ricardo
