Reflecting on war invites us to confront the depths of human suffering and the devastating consequences that accompany conflict. It serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and the dangers of normalization of violence. Contemplation of such horror can motivate efforts towards understanding, reconciliation, and preventing future tragedies. By examining these experiences, we deepen our empathy and responsibility to build a more compassionate world.

Pretending,' she looked at the garden, 'is not the truth.''But you said two true things, right ? One, you hate this girl. Two, you want her to feel better. If you decide that the wanting truth's more important than the hating truth, just tell her you've forgiven her, even if you haven't. At least she'd feel better. Maybe that'd make you feel better too. — David Mitchell

You go first.Go through the door before me.Enter the limousine while I wait by your side.Enter the shops while I stand behind, guarding your back.Sit at the table before me.Please, sample the tastiest morsels while I sit quietly.

What do people fear most about death? I asked the reb.Fear? he thought for a moment. 'Well, for one thing, what happens next? Where do we go? Is it what we imagined?That's big.Yes. But there's something else.What else — Mitch Albom

He was near tears, 'Who do I blame?' he kept asking me. 'There is no God.I can only blame myself.' The Reb's face tightened, as if in pain. That, he said, softly, is a terrible self-indictment. — Mitch Albom

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human. — David Mitchell Cloud Atlas

I didn't want to be ordinary, I mumbled.My mother looked up. What ordinary, Charley?You know. Someone you forget.From the other room came the squeals of children. Miss Thelma turned her chin to the sound. She smiled,That's what keeps me from being forgotten. — Mitch Albom For One More Day

In light of this, my visits with Morrie felt like a cleansing rinse of human kindness. We talked about life and we talked about love. We talked about one of Morrie's favourite subjects, compassion and why our society had such a shortage of it. — Mitch Albom Tuesdays with...

Empathy, evidently, existed only within the human community, whereas intelligence to some degree could be found throughout every phylum and order including the arachnida. For one thing, the empathic faculty probably required an unimpaired group instinct; a solitary organism, such as a spider, would have no use for it; in fact it would tend to abort a spider's ability to survive. It would make him conscious of the desire to live on the part of his prey. Hence all predators, even highly developed mammals such as cats, would starve. — Philip K. Dick Do Androids...
