Walking Away

(Genre: Dialogue Practice/A short play.. (I guess..(?))),

Meanwhile, during a heated disagreement..

Person #1: They were there first!!
Person #2: They moved in after the others kicked them out!!
Person #3: It doesn’t matter, aside from being a good person, we’re not responsible for what our ancestors did!
Person #2: War makes money..
Person #1: It’s self-defense!
Person #2: Oh sure..
Person #3: If you two idiots want to get involved, leave me out of it!! I find it sad as well, yet I’ve had enough of feeling in the middle of social drama I didn’t cause.. so the last thing I need is to give any attention to macro political social drama of which I have ZERO control over!
Person #1: Well at least we care!
Person #2: Yeah man!! The evilest thing to do is to allow evil to occur while remaining silent!!
Person #3: Get the fuck out!! I ain’t responsible for what I didn’t cause!! I have enough personal shit I’m dealing with now! And what happened to investing in peace!? What happened to peaceful welcoming coexistence!? And how is getting mad at each other going to help with anything!?
Person #2: Bahahaha! You talk about “peace” while sounding more angry than us! Hahaha!
Person #1: He’s got a point dude, and what are you going to do if you’re attacked, be like, “love is the answer”!? You crack me up bro, for real.
Person #3: What I’m going to do, is get the fuck out of here, starting now.

Person #3 walks away..
