"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship." - Hermann Goering

Entry LXXVII: Open Letter of Renouncement So it is as I now tell it. One who once, in my mind, was a dear friend, has, after an indescribably depressing conversation, is now no longer recognized as such. It should be known I am being merciful in stripping them of my trust and status in my mind. I should, indeed were it anyone else I would, label them an enemy and curse them for the remainder of my life. The years cannot be forgotten so easily though. So, while it pains me deeply and kills a part of myself to do it, I renounce you as a friend. I renounce all invitations of hospitality. I renounce all promises of assistance and protection. I renounce the trust I bequeathed upon you. You, for you know who you are, should be deeply ashamed for wronging me the way you have. You abandoned when I needed you most. You are, it would seem, a coward. Unable to listen to or care about my problems. You refuse(d) to take my plight seriously, choosing instead to ask about school. Disgusting. All is not lost however. You may still be able to redeem yourself to me. It will be difficult though. Until then however, you are no friend of mine. Da es ich ist, haben es erklärt, daß folglich also es jetzt und für immer ist. “Only trust thyself, and another shall not betray thee.” Farewell, Austin  Arctic Terror · Mon Feb 12, 2007 @ 09:45pm · 0 Comments
