What Was It All For?

This question lingers in the aftermath of destruction. Wars rage across lands, between nations, among us, and even within ourselves. Yet, after all the fighting, after all the loss— for there is no true victory in war—only one truth remains: it was needed.

Picture yourself in a war-torn landscape. As you walk through the ruins, you see a small child swinging, untouched by the chaos surrounding them—a symbol of the innocence sacrificed in the name of conflict. The closer you approach, the more you hear what its quiet movement through the wreckage asks:

Why do we tear each other down when what we truly seek is to lift one another up? What do we gain from war when everything that matters is already here, waiting to be cherished?

As you ponder these questions, you continue moving through the ruins. Not far away, a silhouette catches your eye; it seems to be reading. You can hardly believe what you see, but as you draw nearer, it becomes undeniably real. Someone sits with a book in hand, finding solace in words while the world crumbles around them. Why? you ask yourself.

Reflecting on this person's behavior, you realize that the simple act of reading—of understanding—becomes a silent protest against destruction. It serves as a reminder that wisdom, peace, and reflection are the true paths to strength, not violence and greed.

Now, you return to your own reality. What you’ve experienced for those few moments is not merely a story of destruction, but a reflection on its futility. In the end, wars, whether waged between countries, each other or within our souls, leave us with nothing but remnants of what could have been. It is these moments of quiet humanity that endure—moments that urge us to ask:

Why fight when what remains is the very thing we sought to protect all along: each other?
