Our world... is fueled by hatred, a cycle with no end, revenge encouraging that same hatred in each new generation. It had to start somewhere, didn't it? A friend, a family member, was lost, and with that loss came a desire for vengeance. An eye for an eye.
[And if it wasn't stopped, the whole world would go blind.]
But where does it end? How does it end? The actions of one might start a change, yes, but I think it would take the actions of many to stop it. That's why I fought. That's why I taught my kids to fight, to protect not only themselves but their ideals and their dreams.
