War inflicts injury, pain, and death on everyone.
The truth is that even if we are fighting for some one that we love with all our heart.
That person may still die.
The more precious someone is to us the hard it is to accept that someday they may die.
Sometimes you actually convince yourself that they can't die.
But this naiveté exists only to further the pain that will one day come.
You may try to find meaning in war.
But all that exists in war is loss, and unbearable pain.
All the senseless death that occurs.
It unleashes a vicious cycle of more war and death that never ends.
War creates only more war.
Pain brings only more pain.
To break the cycle we must be willing to lay down our hatred.
Even if we cannot forget.
Even if we cannot forgive.
Someday we must put our pride aside and live to help one another.
Someday I hope that comes soon.
Though I may be small and broken.
I stand strong beside my friends and family.
I weild what little strength I have not to hurt others that would do me harm.
But to stop them from hurting myself or themselves by showing them the kindness that lies buried inside.
One day soon we shall face a war of such scale that our planet has never encountered before.
When this day comes I too shall fight.
But I won't be fighting in anger.
No matter what happens.
No matter what losses I witness.
No matter how much pain it brings me.
I will stand for as long as I can
To protect the thought of peace.
To protect those around me and far from me.
So that we might see the day when we no longer need fear.
Pride.
Avarice.
Wrath.
Sloth.
Envy.
Gluttony.
Lust.
These are more than sins.
They are the fundamental pieces of what makes us all human.
We could not survive without them all in some form.
But it is possible to use them to advantage and help others.
Pride can show someone else how to be humble.
Avarice can be used to gain wealth to share so others prosper.
Wrath can be turned into focus to accomplish that which you find impossible.
Sloth is what you need when the road seems to long and you must rest and recover.
Envy is how you see what you still need to gain with in to move on.
Gluttony is the pain you bring into yourself so others might know a day without it.
Lust is the hope for a better future in the end.
Please.
Hear the words of a voice raised up against the maelstrom.
Hear the hope that still rests within the hearts of a man broken from his youth.
Hear within yourself the call that you brush aside.
Reject the thoughts that you are not strong enough.
No one need do it all.
It takes the will of the people around you to help build great works.
It takes the sins of the world to bring love and a day without pain.
