My dog was barking outside last night during the fireworks, and it was around midnight. I went out to stand with him on our back porch and I suddenly felt alone. It was so weird, but it was like I was in a battlefield. I guess it's because of our current position as the US in the war with Iraq.
What did we have to celebrate for yesterday? Are we really independent? Doesn't everyone depend on something else? Aren't we depending on other countries for resources and allies?
The smoke filled the air and the darkness was almost serene. But far away there would be explosions of red light and angry sounds...

Hm. I kind of felt the same at midnight last night whenever my sister was lighting off fireworks. Im not really a big fan of the things, I find them to be mostly just a waste of money...
But...you know. _We_ had no reason to feel alone. You know there is always someone there for you ;3
celebrating independence day is a psychological relief kind of thing i guess. we still need to feel that our nation is 'free' even though the truth tell us that we are not, sort of like cutting ourselves some slack before we're back at 'war' again. -shrugs-
fireworks are pretty and gives some people business when we buy them. maybe it's not all for reason of the country's independence but it's a tradition. traditions maintain cultures, even if it contradicts the values of the culture sometimes. a society without traditions would be boring and bleh...people would have nothing to look forward to and fall apart from the whole. i like fireworks, but fire crackers are kind of dangerous. -yo sista :)
