A quick note
Nov. 14th, 2005 09:27 pmThere were the most beautiful songs on the radio today. The perfect combination between soft Hebrew songs and soft English ones. The Hebrew songs are the "Memorial day" kind - war songs, battle hero songs, death songs, army songs. You can't forget here, and that's the best thing about this country - you can't forget the important things. Or at least some of them...
Today is ten years since the murder of Ytshak Rabin. When it happened I was shocked, but I didn't understand the full implications it was going to have on my life. I still don't. I was twelve, a kid, I knew a lot but not enough about all the politics behind all the agreements that were signed back then. I knew I wanted peace (I still do), and I couldn't see why anyone would want to stop what went on there, what could have been the best thing in the world - stop being afraid when you leave your house, when you get on a bus, get a cup of coffee on a street cafe.
I grew up since then, and I learned a lot, and I know a whole lot more, but still not enough, and I still don't understand so much of all that happens in here and in the world. I just think of all the things that could have been - how life could have been so much better if we weren't in constant war against each-other. I hate the feeling of missing something important, and it happened so many times. Some opportunities you just mustn't miss, and we do. All the time. And it's bad.
On more earth-bound subjects - got another molecular evolution exercise, and have already started it. I am determined to finish it BEFORE 22 o'clock, suterday
