massacre

Like all war movies, it's sad. Born in a time of peace, of course I don't know the horrors of war, but by studying history through the news, I certainly know the cruelty of war. An innocent person, who did nothing against others, was suddenly hacked to death by thugs. What is the rationale? And not one or two, but a million. In this world, there is only the fear of being brutally killed. Paul told his wife that if it came to the end, the thugs would kill them and let her jump off the building with the children, so the children would not have to see their parents killed by the thugs. How helpless and sad this is, and how cruel to a mother.
When I was young, my grandmother often told stories about Japanese soldiers entering the village. As a result, when I was in elementary school, I had a dream that there were Japanese soldiers coming. I kept running and running in my dream, and I was really scared. The taste of fear.
When war comes, or are instigated by others or consumed by their own desires, some people become demons. Evil occupies the mind, so that killing is like killing a chicken, without blinking and without guilt. In that chaos, some people still want to be lucky and make a fortune; in danger, there are many people who prefer me to blame the world and not let others blame me, rushing to survive, regardless of any morality; Desires make people ignorant, harm others and not themselves... But we know that this is a fragile human nature, a terrifying human nature. In war, if a person can help others, in an instant, the brilliance of human nature illuminates the earth. This is how much courage and wisdom to overcome the cowardly side and the wretched side, to be a person with principles, morals, and enthusiasm. Paul was like that, the peacekeepers were like that, and so was the lady of the Red Cross. I knew it was dangerous and I knew I would die, but I still had to stay and help those innocent people, because I couldn't let it go, because not helping them would not be in line with my own values. This is the quality of human beings!
I hope that at all times, I can maintain my qualities as a human being and strive for justice.
