Today in Art Ms. Campbell wasn't there so Mini-Perron (or Fleure) was our substitute. She was just sitting there, on her computer, doing something, so we had the whole class time to ourselves (as long as we are quiet). Franny and I were talking to each other in our secret language and Yasmin was thinking that we were talking about her all the time. We talked about Katja, how we wanted to meet her and how the three of us would be best friends again. And we also talked about ipdiipching ipyasipmin. Comprendo?
Dr. Why? asked us that if we had three wishes what would they be? Franny said that she would wish for peace in the world and no dying babies. After a while she said that she would want Katja to be back too. Dr. Yaz said it was wrong because it would be smarter to wish for an infinity of wishes. Smarter? Zoom in! Who is smarter? Dr. Why (where you born)?
Wishing for peace in the world is a bit dumb too. Depends how you mean it. If you mean "nothing bad in the world" than you haven't thought about it. There obviously can't be only "good" things in the world. Some people consider arguing a bad thing, but arguing is what we live for. Our life is a battle. Some babies should die because that's how it was "written" at the beginning*. We fight for our survival without us noticing it. Somebody lied to us? Someone betrayed us? We fight. We try not to give up or we argue to protect ourselves. That's what sins are for. For living, yes!!!
" 'Imagine you had two cows, but one of them was very weak and gave less milk than the other one. You had to kill one. Which one would you kill?'
'I would kill the weak one.'
'Why?'
'Because if the weak cow had a baby it would be twice as weak as its mother, but the strong cow's baby would be twice as strong as its mother.' " - Sophie's World
*I took the word "written" from "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. It's such a good book!
