| Am I crazy to be for peace? To forgive? Am I crazy to believe that killing people who've hurt me/us isn't going to help anything? That that won't make things better, but worse. Am I crazy to think that one retaliation could lead to more and more? Am I crazy to be angry but to not want to act rashly and to lash out at others? Am I crazy to want things to get fixed but not to hurt people in the process? Am I crazy to think that in this day and age we should have better ways to deal with problems than killing? Am I crazy to want other people to calm down and think with logic and compassion? Am I crazy to love this whole crazy world? Am I crazy . . . ? --- Jennifer K. L.
