Show It's all in the way you look at things If you shout or do something against the system, then you are a radical, activist, rebel, revolutionary. If you do succed, then you are a hero. Take for example Abraham Lincoln or Napoleon Bonaparte. President Truman once said a politician becomes a statesman 20 years after his death. If you try to do something fantastic and succeed, then you are an ambitious person and a great success; but if you fail, you are a crazy, frustrated person. Now consider sexual relations. If a man forces a woman to have sexual relations with him, that is rape, and is a crime punishable by law. If the woman consents, that is free love; society is somewhat skeptic about it. If the man pays the woman, then that is prostitution, which is not legal. If the man acknowledges it in public, that is married life, a thing of beauty, made in the heaven, etc. Look at death and murder. If a GI dies in Vietnam, he dies to preserve democracy. If a Vietnamese dies, that shows patriotism. If a North Vietnamese dies, it is good that he died because he is the enemy. If civilians happen to die, it is simply a mistake. If you kill somebody, you will be sentenced to life imprisonment. If those millions of soldiers die for having obeyed the orders of the generals, that is simply happenings of the civilization. Why shouldn't the politicians responsible for that inhuman action be sentenced at least once for life imprisonment? imprison-ment? Leaders should be killed and not the innocent soldiers. If you want abortion, law will tell you that you can't do it because that involves the death of an unborn baby. There is no law that will tell you that you can't kill millions of innocent soldiers. If luck goes against you and you fail, that proves your incompetence. If it is in your favor, then that merely confirms your greatness. If you . work for others, that is labor and may be exploitation; if others work for you, that is talent or imagination. If a rich woman goes almost naked, it is fashion; if the poor woman does the same tiling, it is poverty. If a poor woman does not eat because she does not have anything, she is starving. If a rich woman does the same thing, she is dieting! Thus everything depends on the way you look at it, don't you think so? , r 'J , Y ' , , |
