I'm trying harder to understand the middle east conflict and I kind of worry the whole situation is the fault of meddling rulers who have little faith in the goodness of humanity and little respect for the lives of humans. They probably don't respect their own lives or selves very much, they're probably filled with despair. I'm starting to think most people are mostly good and are not wired to murder eachother. I watch old media from the years before sometimes, like Mr. Rogers, and it makes me realize how bad public messaging has become, not many people talk nice anymore, not to get all Joker about it, but it's true. There's a lot of hate out there, and hate is painful no matter what side you're on.
