Bhagavad-Gita The Second Teaching

Once again I read a rather confusing chapter but tried to come up with the best out of it.

What I understood was that Arjuna was filled with pity but Krishna tried helping him by giving Arjuna helpful advice, such as to stop being such a coward. Only this led to Arjuna explaining some more on why they should not fight and why he felt uncomfortable fighting. Then Krishna started talking about how death is nothing to worry about and neither is killing. Everyone will be reincarnated at some point. So Krishna tells Arjuna to once again go out there and kill everyone in his path like an evil maniac, only this time he takes forever to explain something that can be said so much simpler. Then Arjuna asks a few questions and Krishna answers back with a whole lot of examples of wisdom. Amazing isn't it?
Argh!
I can't read this story anymore!!! I'm going to end up tearing my hair out!
Please help me, whoever is out there!
Oh, and apparently the story takes place in India, not Rome or Greece. My bad.
