Typical day, minding my own business, not focusing on anything in particular when out of the blue this person says: "It must be tough."
OK. I'll bite. Please dear person thinking random thoughts. Share that one and tell me where did it come from?
Just thinking. ...
"It must be tough ... waking up every day just to kill somebody. I mean like ... it's your job. It's what you do. ... Must be tough to have a mindset like that. Go to sleep knowing you massacred some unarmed people - men, women and children. Wake up the next day and do it again. That's gotta be tough to live your life like that!"
(This thought is not dispensable. Definitely a keeper.)

Society and Culture: The Olympics is Proof of Peace in Diversity
Doves have come to be known as a recognized universal symbol for peace in many cultures.
The releasing of doves was done first at the 1896 Olympics held in Athens, Greece.
It was only fitting that the 100th Anniversary of this tradition be highlighted at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, GA, USA. Atlanta, as most students of American history know, was the Confederate Center in Georgia where several engagements of the Civil War were fought. But that was the 60s (1861-65).
One decade, we’re fighting like cats and dogs with each other, hooping and hollering about secession; and just 30 years later we are off to Greece, and the United States, emphasis on the word “united” was representing!
Because, in the end, all that we all really do want is … world peace.
