Pumps' Perplexities

At times you look back and realize that people and nations
do not grow up....The words change but the attitudes do
not.....

In a school yard you threw a rock at someone that you
did not like.....You got your feelings out and you felt in
the "right" for doing so......"So there", you said to
yourself.....But

When he threw the rock back, you considered it to be
"unfair".....He had no "right"......So you ran home and
told your parents it the hopes that THEY would help you
"in winning the day" by telling HIS parents.....

Today nations are doing the same....."I can hurt you, but
do not hurt me back, or else".......Does "man" really
develop?......Sometimes I wonder......Pumps
