'I`ll share with you one more passage I like. This one`s from The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea.'
'What does it say?'
'It`s a quote about article 41 from a kid, about your age. He says, "It`s a symbol of the dreams adults have for us, while at the same time being the symbol that those dreams will never be fullfilled. Because they`re stupid enough to think that we can`t do anything, they gave us a glimpse of a simgle patch of blue sky, one fragment of perfect freedom." I like it because of the faraway feel of the writing, but it also holds a clue to your question, about why it`s wrong to kill people. Saying it`s wrong to kill is an expression of an adult dream. Just a dream. A fantasy. Like Santa Claus. Something that doesn`t exist in the real world, a picture of a beautiful blue sky that someone in great distress painted, after which they hid under the covers with thier picture, looking at that instead of at the real world. That`s how it is with most laws. They`re just symbols, designed to make people feel better.'
