We tend always to take love for granted, one way or another we look at our love the look of disgust and dismay that we feel sick to our stomach by just the look of our love, and then it hit you!!!
When I say love, I mean not the Shakespearian love what you saw or read in Romeo and Juliet, I mean all kinds of love, love for nature, animals, world, Cosmo space and everything around you that you love. We tend to take it for granted; I will give a simple example, we all love music in one way, just imagine you wake up tomorrow and there is no more music to listen to!!! Just imagine that feeling, that you do and love music but as usual we take it for granted.
I personally love everything to the last drop of heart and soul that I posses in me, and I appreciate everything around me, take the snake for example, some people think it´s an ugly deceptive creature, I look at it with ultimate fascination at its beauty , to know that it moves around without any limps, it looks at the world through an infra red sight, and can swallow a prey 5 times larger than itself, now if that doesn’t stop you and makes you think then I don’t know what would.
I don’t know who said it but I love the quote anyway (don’t hate, appreciate) it says it right on, I mean really who do we actually hate in this world, those people who are being hated, they are just doing their job in being part of the nature and part of the (YIN/YAN) and there is a much better saying from an English lady who majored in psychology which I love her saying and I apply it to anything that goes around me or others; IF YOU KNEW EVERYTHING, THEN YOU WOULD FORGIVE EVERYTHING.
So in the end I would just love to say to you people, friends, lovers, family and to my fellow readers; please do whatever you want in your life but one thing you should keep on mind, never take anything for granted, cause everything got a purpose here, and some things we know their purpose and some we don’t, so don’t take for granted the ones you don’t know their purpose yet!!!!!
We don’t know the power of our love, until we feel the pain and agony when we part from our love ones, it is not easy to forget someone you loved, it is just like you trying to remember someone you have never met.
Back to the story,
When I stood up from the knocked out captain, I knew directly that I did some major damage to his fuckface which I didn’t care about it and still don’t care about it, not even for one bit, the guy had a broken cheek bone, broken nose, broken jaw and missed 6 upper teeth and 4 more on the lower jaw. All that and I still think until today that I took it easy on him, in my opinion he deserved to die that day, but I think one day or maybe not he will realize his mistake and his conscious will kill him slowly and eat him alive.
I waited for the MP (military police) to escort me out, my own captain after I told him the whole scenario agreed that I did the right thing and acted outside the book of laws but it was right action in his eyes, my commander however didn’t like what he heard and was really shouting and cussing at me like am some kind of an animal, so I made my biggest mistake in my army carrier which was I went to my commander really close to his face and told him in his eyes; cuss me one more time and I will knock you out, which he did and I delivered my promise.
That cost me 3 nights in army prison and direct deportation to the Netherlands, and waiting there for my martial court to decide what they will do with me, but two nights before my deportation the Dutch army just took over an army base and they needed the man power and every man was needed, even me.
So my task was an easy one just go out and be on guard if anything around the base is suspicious then report directly and act upon the data we have and how to engage it, so here I am wondering the dark desert with no one in sight or any sound around me, my area that I should cover was about 5 kilometers square, which is big, for one person but I guess that was part of the punishment.
I was walking and thinking to myself about everything that happened in the last days, then all of the sudden I heard (click clack)!!!!!! Exactly the same sound when somebody cock their AK 47 before shooting, I froze on the spot, putted my night vision on and looked around but saw nothing, I switched to thermal vision and still saw nothing, I circled around myself 360 degrees to look around me and still saw nothing at all, I started walking very slowly measuring my steps and listening intently to any sound around me, and then I heard (click clack, click clack)!!!!!!!!!! Then I thought oh shit there is three of them around me I got no fucking chance, so it is here where I will die……………FUCK, just a couple of days before I end up my tour in Afghanistan, am going to get shot in some bitchy ass desert, I looked again around me and still saw fucking nothing, then all of the sudden the sound grew louder and noisier and I could hear it that it was coming towards me, and then darkness………………………….!!!!!!!!!!!
Something caught on my face and it was like was pulling me backwards, in my reaction I emptied all my rifle magazine in a straight line in front of me until I fell flat on my back, and then I took what was on my face, when I saw it I started laughing in disbelieve, it was a fucking newspaper, rolling with the wind and the sound it made was like a weapon cocking!!!!!!!!!!
My guys were talking to me if there was any contact with an enemy; I told them it was false alarm, no worries.
And so I ended up my tour in Afghanistan, in a scary experience that I would never forget for the rest of my life, I went back to the Netherlands, proud of what I did, my head held up high, and definitely ready to take on whatever problems lay ahead of me.
