I was born near Montreal, in january 1984. I started writing not long ago, while i had some little problems around me, and the writing was a really personnal thing at that time. The years started to pass, the troubles faded, and i needed to write again, but for another reason this time, a more expresionnal reson. Sometimes, i reread what i did in the past 2 or 3 years, and i see a difference of mood. Finally, i joined dragon's breath project in september 2000, I think, and since then, i am writing frederick's character. Between the years, i've learned some things, i've seen thing, and it's probably the experience that made my write an esasy, some time ago. The comments didn't appear when i got it out, and i abandonned writing, untill i restarted with the Boundaries. Fall has arrived and with it, small holes in school sechdule. I finished the budaries in October 2001. The text under this paragraph is my little essay, and sincearly, i must say i wrote in nov.-dec 2000, it has nothing to do with the present situation, but still, my thoughts apply. I have a different vision of things around me that the majority and sometimes it gives some good and bad things. Lately, i ahd problems writing, but in january 2002, all got for the better as i returned to the pen and paper and let my imagination guide my thoughts. Some new projects go out of my head and i have to keep them on paper for there is nothing to keep my ideas from vanishing from my head. Lately, i've been writing Copen, another character for Dragon's breath, i've used my keyboard once or twice these days, trying some stuff, and i'm working on some stuff that might come out in winter 2004 on my website. These days, i'm a little more occupied with class work, but i still find the time to write a little and i update the site when i can.
The war has never changed the mind or the face of men. From the beginning of time, the feeling of superiority won many times over the feeling of unity. Our present time period is no exception. Look at the present situation : factions have been formed, and these factions are battling against each others. When we look closely at the actions that took place recently, we all see that something went wrong on the way to peace. How can people betray their own friends for the feeling of superiority? We don't real bother seeing situation like these, since we get used to get betrayed. The more we turn to the stars and think about our actions, the more we realize that there is a hole in the entire history. All the mistakes that have been made get out easily when you think about them, looking through the sky's grasp. Then, when we comeback the same night, after thinking about it, we hear on the news that some countries' soldiers are expecting a fierce fight with the enemy. They also claim that they will track them as soon as they enter the border lines.
Once again, after some little reflexion, the lines that are draw are purely fictional. When we think about them, we see them as illusions, where political parties try to show their puppet mastery by controlling a portion of land. The military units want to keep the lines too, because it keeps their job opportunity. The military are only paid to keep peace, or, most commonly, fight wars. These units, like another naval and aviation ones, in time of peace protect people from disasters, but I think they should be trained only for these kind of things, not to have a gun, to fire heavy artillery and other destruction related things. Sometimes, when you look at some political figures or military power, you can sometimes observe a little shadow of repression. This kind of acting can end up in two directions : first of all, you have the brainwashing of an entire population. The master of the country then tells his fellow citizens what to do, and they act like sheep that follow their shepherd. It can also end up in an other situation : townsfolk won't even say what they think about, because they will be afraid of getting caught by the repressive force. In that case, you call the political movement tyranny, and the only safeguard against it, like I heard someone once say, is the free flow of ideas and information. Again, I may embark in a terrible journey by saying that, but people have to know, to see the truth, they have the right to understand every situation, and they have to claim independence, as likely as it seems. Some people consider that the liberty of expression is an important right, and I just said why. You continue to listen to the news, and they call about a battle happening somewhere, because they want their independence. All I can saw at that moment is : "Another wanton battle is begin played into the chessboard". Why, you will ask me? If you could the deaths, the injured, the persons that are traumatized for life because of the war and the destruction of the nature that surround us, you see very clearly that war has a lot of bad sides that overthrown the good side. I will take the examples of soldiers that fight a war to explain and to show what real trouble it causes. Take a regiment of around a hundred person fighting against a hundred persons. In the two hundred, say that around a hundred and five dies, ten are injured. The eighty five left will be morally affected by the loss of friends and allies in the battle, or if they don't feel sorry, they are affected by the "who cares syndrome". If I conclude the little description, we have two hundred persons that have been hit by a psychological or a physical problem. Soldiers, are people too, and I don't think they need to be launched alone in their trouble, shipwrecked in their feelings. Personally, I don't really think they are meant to suffer that much. That's why I am writing this to you, people that are sitting and reading this. If we work together, I know we can make a little difference. Together, I am sure that we can strengthen the fragile peace that is in place. That's why, today, I am asking this, maybe utopic request : Can we finally have a peace that is begin repressed, tortured, silenced or butchered by the will of a minority? I sincerely thank you for listening. Any comments or feedback is appreciated.
