Chris Hedges inspired riff on love and war – story theory
what people are missing in their own lives, in the mediocre service of daily requirements, they find in war, sense of purpose, community, exhilaration. perhaps the ignominy of failed love. and so what of love, love is too an emotional storm which creates a sense of purpose, community and exhilaration. what then is the difference, is one appropriate and the other not? if we are empty and not tossed by storms of any sort, what would there be there? to be open and empty is to flow with all that arrives. “war is a force that gives us meaning”
