Although oppressed, do not linger

War is indeed terrible.

The war has exposed the original evil of many people who cannot be seen in civilized society.

Every modern war after the Industrial Revolution is a history of struggles of politics, interests, and human rights.

Those immersed in it are desperately looking for a straw for spiritual support, which will give meaning and branding to various evils. Some people open speeches at the celebration with blood-stained hands, while others devote themselves to primitive and rude behavior to seek relief from their conscience.

But no matter what, we have no reason to adore the primitive wildness of human beings. The wheel of history has propelled our race to this day. Any individual we single out may not be as brave and good at fighting and survival as our ancestors, but modern people as a whole, knowledge has become the most powerful weapon for mankind, and this weapon helps mankind rule the earth.

The real challenge we face is to use this power to guide the race to better coexist with the planet and everything on it.

To reflect on war is not to be shaken by the evils of mankind, but to stop war.
