In 1976 I was sitting at temple complex (that was supposedly close to 2000 years old which I later found out was only 1300 years old) with a girl by the name of Wena on a blanket for a picnic. Knowing a little history (written by the victors) I was struct by all the people who have gone before me fighting, loving, dying for causes that are long dead and many forgotten.
Since that year on the 4th when I wake up I raise a glass of coffee in a form of a salute and simply say, " I salute your sacrifices" ... Hopefully it means something to the dead; at least it means something to me..call me sentimental ?
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
Silence those who disagree and you will never realize you are wrong.
