A Tale of Two Cities…at War

After hearing a blurb on the radio, my elementary-school-aged child innocently asked me,
“Daddy, why are they fighting?”
- ME: Z wants the land and X wants the land. They both want to be in charge of the same area.
- CHILD: Why can’t they take turns?
- ME: It doesn’t work that way honey. One group wants to make the rules for the area.
- CHILD: To keep themselves safe?
- ME: Yes, that could be one reason.
- CHILD: Why don’t they agree on safety rules?
- ME: Maybe they just both want the option to control the area and make up the rules and can’t find a way to agree on those rules. I really don’t know honey. I know that it is taking a long time for them to work out their disagreements.
- CHILD: They should set a timer.
Sigh, if only children could run the world…They make it sound so easy and it can’t be much worse than what adults have done!
