Life Is An Electronic Game
Flying over the U.S. to NY some months ago, I thought of a way to stop wars.
Pilots flying planes, can’t see any humanity , just as I couldn’t see any life, except for
some immobile shapes suggesting what man had tossed down…concrete cities. There was no sign of humanity from so far above. Not even ant-sized signs.
With our high tech, what would happen if faces of the people being bombed appeared on the screen in the cockpit? What if faces of children had
appeared over Pearl Harbor, or Hiroshima and Nagasaki or Iraq and other countries? Would bombs have been dropped so easily?
… Drop your bomb… This is who you’re killing… Check their faces… Each is a person just like you… Drop your bomb… But beware… the consequence on your mind and heart…
Oh look. We now have Drones.
Yes, kill as we do with electronic games.
It’s easy, just press a button.
Take conscience and soul out of man and what do we become?
