Slaughter Hosue-Five (final chapter)

“Poo-tee-weet?”

This is the question that a bird asks to Billy at the end of the book.

What does it mean?

This phrase is something that doesn't make sense at all for humans. Same applies to war. It doesn't make sense and there really isn't much to say about it.

Wars are always ridiculous. I understand that they are part of human nature. Just as lions fight each other to mate with the female. Humans fight to resolve issues.

I strongly believe that there are better ways to solve problems. It is completely different a fight in which two people compete for something than a fight in which millions of innocents are killed. I say innocents because although the majority of soldiers are killing other people, they are not necessarily fighting for what they think is correct.

..

Trying to connect time travels with the war I came up with a conclusion. According to the Tralfamadorians, everything is happening at the same time. Just that events occur in different dimensions. Where the present is either a the past or the future. This means that people are dying in every moment, somewhere in the universe thanks to a war. This means that we cant really make the bad things dissapear and though they could be left unspoken, they will always prevail.

The lesson from this is that we have to think each moment carefully because what we do, will hunt us for the rest of our lives. (either physically as it happens to billy or as a memory.)

Do something, change your life, and remember,there are no second chances...
