When I was a kid i always wondered why?why us?why do they only attack us?why do they hate us?why do they want us to die?,But I was a child and i never tried to ask them, I never gave them the chance to speak, instead i grew to hate them even more, and i wanted to kill them even more. In my adolescence I was told "they are not like us so they must be against us""Their difference disrupts our sameness""its us versus them""we are good they are bad""we are just and they are unjust" I was a teenager so I didn't even think of questioning such simple binary.I could not have been more wrong.I latter learned that the people i had sworn to protect were in truth the greater monsters, and with that i had to question everything about the monsters I've been fighting , My world was turned upside down, the truths i held to be irrefutable were all inverted.

When I learned I was going to die , i knew i had to destroy the barrier between us and them, then i could come over there to die,I thought if i could see the world in their eyes be a stranger in a strange land then maybe i could understand them better and thus understand myself, dying by their hands I would finally make penance for my sins. Someday when you are in my position you'll understand a dying man's need for closure.
