It's not, though. I mean, there's pain and there's darkness, but... if we didn't have those things, we'd never appreciate how good the good stuff is. And I'm not saying that the world has to be bleak or that it should stay that way, but when there is that darkness? It makes you fight that much harder. Mending the world is definitely possible. You just have to remember why you're doing it.
I am not saying... [ She sighs, attempting to find her words. ] I do not want a world without pain or loss. I just want them to have meaning. For there to be some manner of purpose. That people do not die or bleed in vain- and there is so much senseless loss and death. That is what I wish to have less of.
( Gently, that. ) It'd be really nice to be able to know things have meaning. That when they happen... they don't get drowned out by so much else that they start breaking down into nothing. Or-- not nothing, but do you know what I mean? When there's so much, sometimes the things that are smaller but still mean something to someone get disregarded?
( She sighs a little, not frustrated, but at a loss for words, a little. ) It'd be nice if people just had room to breathe. Which, you know, works with the less death and loss thing, I guess.
One would hope that with what we are doing now, we will build a place or take action enough to offer those around us that time to breathe. That after we will have more than enough time to enjoy something close to peace.
