On pacifism

Yeah I know its been awhile, but I just haven't had the urge to write anything till now. Something I've heard alot the past few days, few weeks even is something along the lines of "oh well, I don't have to worry about that, I'm a pacifist". And it got me thinking. I am not a pacifist. I just don't agree with it. There are some things out there worth fighting for.. worth dying for even. And not everything can be solved with words, as much as we like to think they can. I am not a naturally violent person. But, there are some people out there that I would defend with my life.. I would die fighting for them. And pacifism doesn't support that. Think of it this way. You are a parent.. would you not take on the world for your child? To protect them? To keep them safe? *sighs* Sometimes fighting is inevitable.. sometimes its necessary.. if you don't fight back sometimes you'd be overrun by all the evil in society today. Pacifism is a beautiful ideal and like communism, works on paper. But for that we'd need a Utopian society.
