This is a pondering thought. I think some find it hard to let go. There are those who feel locked in place without a key to release them from the suffering. Then those who are extremely happy all the time it is like an endorphin rush that they crave to reproduce.
Very good, thought-provoking piece.

Thanks Fia

Nobody is always happy…..they may appear so.
The best we can hope for is to be content with the ‘ way it is’.

so true dearest Benny I know I will be happy again different but happy 💕

The sacrifice palpable, the suffering unimaginable. It’s significant that people see war as this thing that just “happens”, not considering all the coordination, planning and propaganda that goes into it. They don’t accidently happen….never mind that it makes NO sense that humanity would be MORE warlike with the progression of time, but it certainly appears as if there is more war now than ever before in known history….and that’s a LOTTA planning & coordination! And propaganda (to “prop the agenda”)

Great tribute for D Day, EZ Joe. Good to see you again. I appreciate their sacrifice.

I agree 100%. “…it makes NO sense that humanity would be MORE warlike with the progression of time, but it certainly appears as if there is more war now than ever before in known history….and that’s a LOTTA planning & coordination! And propaganda (to “prop the agenda”

Good to hear from you again.

“Death is death.”
“Peace is strangled at birth.”

The whole piece moved me. War is gruesome and no one wins. We must remember all of those who served, fought and lost their lives in the pursuit of peace. Funny how fighting is the way to find peace.
Those two lines just stuck with me. Very good peace.

I think this is perfectly metered. The A,B,A,B ending worked well. I love poppies.

this is beautifully crafted 💕

The prologue, set up the expectation of what we are about to experience in this story was done well. But I have to admit this journal entry of a story was eye opening. This is an enjoyable read and the vulnerability of the piece is good.
