Casualties of War

We often discuss war and atrocities in a numberical sense. As hard data; number of people killed and injured, number of buildings destroyed, total dollars of destruct, etc.

What is often not accounted for is the lives of people that drastically change, but are not dead or immediately injured. Orphaned children are the hardest hit by war I feel and it is time we stop creating wars at the expense of tomorrow's population.

Keep in mind we're human

As a human you are not capable of moving through life without making mistakes. It is the joy and frustration with being a rational being who can make irrational decisions; we are all capable of making terrible or wonderful decisions. To think you are always going to make the right decision is foolish. But what I want to stress is we learn wisdom through making different choices. Some bad, some good, and some making nearly no difference.
