War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
I disagree with Chris Hedges when he says that war is good for us. I think Hedges is crazy for being a journalist who covers stories on war. I would never want to watch and document war; it sounds terrible. I don’t understand why he thinks war could give us a purpose and a reason for living. On page 373 he says, “The eruption of conflict instantly reduces the headache and trivia of daily life”. Logically, this does not make much sense to me, and I disagree with much of what he has to say.
