In wartime, it is easy to only see the bad in the world: violence, death, suffering, division, pain, and loss. These may be overwhelming. It may be hard to see anything but horror as if all the love has vanished from the world.
It is important to remember that despite the worst that befalls man, there is always love. There is always hope. Always something to fight for. Something to return home to.
