I’ve been watching movies. The past three nights I have watched the first 5 episodes of Star Wars. I’ve never seen them back-to-back before. The series is outstanding when watched in order. Even better having watched a bit of The Mandalorian beforehand.
I watched Jaws last Saturday night. I always get wrapped up in Quint’s story about his experience on the USS Indianapolis. He gives me chills when he tells it. And every time I wonder whether the fate of those sailors was punishment. I heard once that Oppenheimer felt great regret for his involvement in the making of the bomb. I wonder whether Feynman did, too. I really like him. He saw the world as a beautiful and wondrous place. How could he not?
No sense wondering whether the evils that combat evil are justified. Maybe Spock was right. You know, “The needs of the many,…”
I have read about the tunnels in Japan. My brother saw them. He felt the evil living in them, and he was terrified.
I don’t like to think about such things. I’m not qualified. I’m more of a Yoda fan.
“Train yourself to let of go of everything you fear to lose.” That’s my favorite Yoda quote.
He told that to someone powerful who felt too much. The man’s fear turned to hate, just as Yoda said it would, and that man’s fear destroyed his very soul.
Fighting fire with fire is a response to fear, is it not?
This is too much to dwell on on a Tuesday night before bed.
