day, the third

Today being sunday I spent some time with my friends doing our normal sunday roleplaying game. Christy is running a 7th Sea campaign, and I'm playing a nationalist montaigne noble (Eliz Fluabert du Dore) who honestly loves her people... this time around we found our little group in Castille behind the lines (Montaigne and Castille are at war)..... and in game it was meant to show the horrors of war, a lot of death and carnage.... with Eliz loving here people but not really loving some of the nobility (even thoughshe is noble herself) made me start to think about how no matter how much death there is it will not solve the conflict. The conflict is caused by and is ended by the nobility of both sides.. sheltered in their high walls miles away from here. Several good negotiations would solve the issue where thousands dieing would not..... and left me feeling sad and thinking about how applicable this thought is to the real world... and I decided that it was the exact same thing............. thats why I love roleplaying it allows me to step out side of my experience and feel and think about things from new perspectives.. things that hopefully can pertain to normal everyday life.....

As everything in life is subject to perspective and the only way to step beyond it is to recognize it and then identify how your perspective was formed and how that is effecting what is going on in your life....... you know the saying three sides to every story...... yours, mine and the truth....
