NaNo 2009 Rewrite: Day 14 - A piece of foreword.

[duckduckthrall]

Foreword

Hatred spawns hatred, and innumerable years of invasion and killing cannot simply be erased from collective memory, even if the acts were committed under demonic possession, and even if, later on, alliances of convenience were formed between warring factions, to fight off these demonic possessors. Children take after their parents, who take after their parents, and so on, causing hatred to weave through an entire ancestry. Children learn their attitudes and opinions from their parents, and continue to display these attitudes and opine these opinions, often not even stopping to consider whether these opinions have a basis in fact or logic, or whether they are just a product of years and years of stories passed on, embellished all the way down. They don't stop to consider why they hate someone who has never hurt them personally, just to remember that their ancestors were attacked by the other's ancestors in a war or three, several years ago. Hatred of an entire species, many of whom were not even alive for these atrocities, or if they were, did not fight, will only inevitably lead a world of warcraft, into a world of downfall.
