A trifling and temporary inconvenience for the "customers," to be sure.

A good statement from an intellectual. But to see, feel and experience the horror of war and human suffering changes you forever. It truly has to be worth it, and one has to suffer for a long time for it to be worth it.

Ah, but what is warfare and death and suffering but mere abstracts in a paradigm of meta-spatial realities as determined by the individual who chooses to accept such nebulous pseudo-experiences, when, in fact, the comforting certainty of nihilist existentialism is awaiting, much like one's favorite blanket and mug of hot cocoa after a long day on the tundra.
