Well, you are starting to grow up so you have to learn to accept the realities of life. It's interesting that you worry about your dog dying. When my son was a little boy he told me he didn't want to fall in love with our dog too much because one day she would die and that would make him too sad, just like you are saying.
And I asked him if he loved me and he said of course. So I said just because I will die someday does that mean you won't love me while I'm here. And so he began to realize that you love things as much as you can while they are with you, and you don't worry about them dying because they will, but that should have no effect on the love you have while they are there.
Nothing. Everything that lives will also have to die. YOU will die one day.
Your family will die one day. Your friends will die one day. Your dog will die one day.
It's just life. What are you going to do? Keep worrying about something you can't prevent, or go out there and make the most of the time you have?!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
