I had loads of fun today. Went around the park and saw that the Children were playing in water. I had the 24-105L on so I had an amazing time clicking portraits of careless, happy children. Someday these kids will be stuck in a company somewhere... writing stories for custom software development... walking around the city downtown... feeling happy for kids playing in water :-)

Ended up getting interviewed by dogstar7 (http://www.youtube.com/user/dogstar7) on the price for peace. Interesting view that the world was appalled and brought about peace after US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki 64 years ago. Dogstar7 asked me if there was a guarantee that the same would happen again, would I support the US bombing civilians for the greater good?

Really? I mean it's a good argument. Thinking of it as an alien (having no interest in human life) I probably would support the movement. But then again as an alien why the hell would I be interested in human peace anyway.

Like I said to him, I don't think peace peace is really possible at all. I think it's just that we are here, alive right now and we see atrocious things happen and we feel really bad about ourselves and the state of the world. But this is exactly what has been happening throughout human history. I think we'll keep having these problems and keep learning to live with them.

Sometimes I wonder if the human ability to adapt is a blessing or a curse.
