Burn this fire

If the forest was to catch on fire while the men were fighting for their land, would they lay down their weapons to put it out or would they put their heart into the slaughter hoping there'd be enough time for the victor to escape?

There are things in life worth fighting for and possessions is not one of them. If you look up the Swedish word vämjelse it translates to disgust, but if you look up avsky it gives you so many more options to choose from. Should this moment be spent to find the perfect word to express vämjelse? Loathing? Abhorrance? Disrelish? I'll never feel the English expressions gut stabbing effect in the same manner I do the words of my mother tounge. Perhaps I've forgiven words too easily because I simply don't fully understand the abomination they represent.

Words are powerful things, but some of them hold more fear than others, some of them are things we commonly as humans have learned to unite to avoid. Fire. Run. Small words containing so much of our history. Our survival have depended on our understanding of those, but now, at times, it's heroic to run straight into the fire, right into the pit of disaster. What happened to those other small words? Love. Lust.

It's possible to combine them yes, four words holding most possible outcomes for human interaction. Add a couple of "to" and "from". Try. Run to love. Love from lust. Lust from fire. Fire from lust. Run from love. How many times do we not find ourselves as part of it and we trust our instincts to make an appropriate decision. It's hard to believe that run from love to fire is in our best intrest.

So, why can't we stop saying those disgusting things and lay down our differences and let the world be a peaceful one? Yes it's another plea on my part, my tiny attempt to show that I will not respect you if you can't stop setting the world on fire not with your words, but your lack of understanding for the mess you make. So please, just stop.
