Lately I feel so tired. There’s always a part of me that wants to just sleep; sleep and make all of THIS - the war, my government’s policies and actions, the counter-violence of the insurgency, all the greed and sin in the world - just go away for awhile. I can identify with the apathy of citizens who give in to violence: yes, just make the evil go away, press the button, fire the missile, send the young ones off to war. Take any way out.
