Today is the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Yahoo provided links to testimony from survivors.
I have been deeply concerned with atomic warfare ever since I was very little. I have always had very vivid and surreal nightmares about atom bombs being dropped on my house or neighborhood. Sometimes I don't remember what they're about, but the hyperreality of color in them and the lingering sense of sadness they leave leaves me with no doubt as to their subject. Even though I know how many terrible things can be done to people, I still think this is the worst. I can't really justify why. When I consider which causes I would abandon absolutely everything in my life to struggle for, if there was an instant need, this is the only one I can think of.
