Trafalmadorian Meet and Greet
How would the Trafalmadorians react if they saw our childish behavior during a war? During Billy's capture fake notions of victory and empowerment filled the sauerkraut-eating German soldiers as well as Wild Bob had reflected on hope and an unrealistic, everything will be alright attitude. Not forgetting the typical loss of attitude when in a compromising situation and a realization that reality hits hard of Weary that as a consequence has been spat on and is now sobbing like a 2 year-old and not like a musketeer. If a race that saw things in its raw, unemotional way would see us in this state, they may fall into confusion, pity, condescendingly and even frustration. We are always emotionally immature, damaged and self-centered... I think that's why we laugh when somebody falls. When we are hurt we wish to hurt just because of a ridiculous grudge that we make up because of instint and lack of perspective. If the Trafalmadorians would see this I think they would say, "really!?!?!?".
