I am happy with my time: I admire this author. He has shown kindness to people in desperate need, and displays a sense of duty, that it is his job to make the world a better place for future generations. Also he sees all people as the same. His experiences with our enemies of World War II, and the fact that at the time of his writing and still today they are all staunch allies of the United States, only reinforce that view.
57 Years after the war: This essay was good; it gets one thinking and, though it doesn't address it very much, it talks about the fact that so many veterans, from World War II and Korea, and even Vietnam now, are beginning to die of old age. From a historical perspective, these old soldiers ought to be asked about their experiences so that they aren't lost forever.
Disrupting my comfort zone: I wholeheartedly believe what the author is saying. Breaking out of your comfort zone is crucial if you ever want to experience life to the fullest.
If I were a Dictator: I don't agree with this person. They say that the Bible is the foundation of real Democracy, and that though the Athenians gave us the word for it, they never had a real democracy. Well their democracy was fitting with the culture of the time, where women were considered with less rights and abilities as men. But the Bible holds kings and royalty in high regards, and monarchies are about as far away from Democracy as possible.
