Conflict
As anyone who has played in my fictional world on NewEarth can attest, avoiding a species conflict is one of the major goals of the Combined Territories, however they are a clan of fighters and they deter with strength. Watching real world conflicts along with real world destruction has left me feeling sad and hollow. My heart goes out to all the victims of war, all those misplaced, injured, suffering the loss of friends and family. Humans can truly be terrible beasts. I continually hope that we can learn from our mistakes, find truth among the lies, seek hope and life among death and destruction. Fiction can be a wonderful way to escape the realities around us and give us the strength we need to face another day.
Be hopeful, be strong, and seek love over hate and anger.
