It’s important to remember the people who died in service to our nation on Memorial Day. How much moreso must we do everything possible to prevent more of our children from the same fate, heroic as it may be? Our celebration should include a yearly rededication to the promotion of peace, rather than military action for the sake of nationalism, religion, and worst of them all, profit. We must not take the path of imperialism, but rather the task of bringing compassion to those who desperately need help. If we want to end terrorism we must open the fist and provide a helping hand instead. Nothing kills hatred faster than kindness, and nothing breeds contempt like exploitation and suffering. Carrots, not sticks are the path to a just society.
I wish everyone warm reflections this Memorial Day, and rededicate myself to peace, kindness and unity.
