"Atrocity and its splendor"

War can be seen as irrational ideal or the delight of some people. Do not judge me before I explain myself. Yes, the conservative reader stop now, do not continue reading this if you are overwhelmed with different ideas from yours. Personally I do not feel pleasure from conflicts, deaths and killing. However it seems that other people have acquired a desire for destruction and death. I do not see this as “weird”, it is very logical since destroying is easier than creating. A superficial example of this can be seen in the construction of a card castle. Every card has to be set up carefully, it usually takes longer than the lasting of the castle itself. It is obvious that watching the fall of the castle is not enjoyable. However the collapse of the castle seems to have a greater impact because it occurred in a very fast and sudden manner. Details such as: “made Billy get out of the wagon and come look at the horses. When Billy saw his means of transportation, he burst into tears. He hadn’t cried about anything else in the war.”(PDF) This shows the audience of Slaughterhouse five that Billy has cried for the smallest or less impacting detail of war. Considering that the slaughter of animals is minimal to the one of human lives in war. The effect of Destruction in any extent is probably going to last longer. This can be an indirect cause of wanting to kill and destroy, as I said previously this “seems” to be felt by some people.
