why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
itful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
Then also in Persepolis there is this same concept going on starting on page 99 it this idea of the key. "you see this?"said the maid "it's a plastic key painted gold" said Mrs Satrapi "They gave this to my son at school. they told the boy that if they were lucky enough to die, this key would get them into heaven" and then a few pages later"thousands of young kids, promised a better life, exploded on the minefields with the keys around their necks." These pieces really seem to be portraying the same things to me basically the pointless loss of life. I think it is just mental that people would actually believe that just cause you have a little plastic toy key that you are going to heaven i mean hell that key was probably made in Taiwan for less than a penny and unless my geography is wrong i don't think Taiwan is anywhere near heaven what i think is even MORE ludicrous is that full grown trusted RELIGIOUS adults brainwashed these kid KNOWING that they were LYING. hmm yet another reason i don't fling my self into the religious scene when people refuse to think for themselves and just do whatever a religious leader says is right... i think we have seen what happens several times throughout history. people use religion to get power. We say it happen in the "holy" roman empire and basically everywhere that believed that their leader had been sent to them by god. they just brainwash their people into think that what the ruler wants is what god wants... the biggest load of crap i have ever heard but i just cant stomach a good "enter religion here" man/woman brainwashing their youth so that they can "win" the war. i mean this isn't the first time that children have been used in war but at least when Hitler did it i don't think he was promising salvation when they took two to the chest...
