Clap! Gotcha, you bastard mosquito. There is a war going on. Between the unrighteous and the more unrighteous. Who do you want to win? How do we discern? By developing our aesthetic so that we can judge better. We judge the fruit produced. The intentions of the heart cannot be judged — no one has that superpower, except God. Where will we send this strange ship of war? Who should it kill? What should it destroy? Can we tell from here, halfway across the globe? What is it like to live in the Middle East? Do any of us here claim to know? The history that stretches into millennia. Do we know it? Did we live it? Let us start by humbling ourselves. We know nearly nothing compared to what there is to know. The eye. A symbol of knowledge and wisdom. This warship has an eye, a green eye. What does it see? Who does it see for? What does this dragon see? Can we see the reflection in its eye? Can we see the image in its eye? Who is it targeting? Who shall feel its flaming wrath? Should we provoke this dragon and make an enemy out of it? Now that would be stupid indeed! I think I see something with a trunk in its eye — an elephant maybe.
