Death and Destruction with Dignity

i don't think that any death should be met with cheers. 


same goes for war, "victory", "glory". 


the existence of the evil is what should be mourned, and one should learn from it, avoid it. the fact that it exists is a tragedy. getting past it, by military "victory", death of your "enemy" etc should it seems be met with relief, but cheers seem inappropriate. 


war is not a football game. our nations aren't teams that are meeting to win on the field. death wins. tragedy and evil win. we need to get past it all, to peace, thru negotiation, diplomatic adjustments, cooperation etc. our energies, monies etc should be saved more for that instead of military industrial complex, empire, world police etc. 


everyone talks big about peace. peace is tougher in many ways than dropping bombs. peace is active and to work towards it takes labor. it's not all doves, kids, fields, holding hands.
