We have a Rememberance Sunday for all those that perished in wars...and the resounding message seems to be "we must never forget that this happened"...
But each year, each month, and each day that isn't rememberance Sunday, we completely forget to stop waging wars with each other. We forget about the death, destruction, hate, ignorance, fear, and distrust that humanity felt in those dark years and continue to lose sons, fathers, daughters and mothers to exactly the same things which we profess to be "remembering".
If you ask me it's a bit of an insult to those that have died, that we still can't collectively get our acts together to bring peace and solidarity to the world.
Maybe I'm just way too idealogical...or maybe most of the world are hypocrites.
