why do most men commit to affairs the end in blood shed. it is true that men posses a side that is barbarous as you have observed but it is a double edged sword, it can be a tool used to win precious things as well as protecting them. I believe that beneath everything there is something more precious than love and friendship. I speak of dreams. Men are driven to pursue it and pursue it only for their own sake. One mans dream can hold dominion over the entire world. Like one who dedicates his life to the forging of a single sword, they can pursue their dreams in solitude while some dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. dreams breath life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams but long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in mens hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death, they are dead for they have no dreams.
