Here speaks another member of gullible-people Anon. Everyone around is talking in an uproar about the disengagement, and I'm completely confused as to what to think. Honestly, all I know is that anything that brings peace is something of which I approve. The problem is that unlike Steve (or at least Steve's claims), I'm far from prescient. So really, I don't know what to think, or what to say. The entire situation confuses me: it's so much easier to retreat into a withdrawn world of private life and theology and ritual and academics and not get involved in the real world on a large scale. But that seems like the easy way out and not terribly adult. It's an awkward place to be. From what little I know, the disengagement seems to be the best bet rather than not. But do I want to see people suffer- of course not. Instead, in a world of suddenly strong opinions (I find it odd how quiet the online world seemed to be about the disengagement until just now, when the whole thing is coming to a head, as it were), I'm still feeling quite wishy-washy. Even for someone who dislikes politics, which I certainly am, I feel like I'm not living up to a responsibility.
