I agree with what Rory said, that the dissatisfaction found with the war, is really some sort of resolution that needs to be resolved within me. Which is not to say I will stop feeling what I am feeling or doing what I am doing. I do agree with something else that Rory has said, and that is that particles as he puts it (and it is a very effective use of the word (lol)) don't necessarily want the things that we want for them-- this goes for Curtis too when he makes his rationalist arguments against fulfillment of desires. So though I have opinions and express them and will call something out if it needs to be changed, I can think of nothing in my existence that needs to be changed so badly that my life is not whole without it. I hope that answers your question.:-)
