Often times, I wonder what the whole point of conflict is, and to whom it all benefits in the end. To the soldier on the ground, conflict is survival. You versus the enemy. Your life is in your hands, and your ability to be aware of your surroundings, your tactics, and the trust you have in those around you will determine how you come home. But for those “above the fray” or behind the scenes, what does it benefit?
Those at the top, making the decisions to go to war, must only see humanity through a lens of economy, humanity just another currency that can be spent to achieve their ends. It’s callous, heartless, and so very much inhumane, and yet they’re the ones that benefit the most.
I pray for the people of Ukraine, for their health and well-being. I pray for the leaders to have clarity and to realize that it is the people who suffer the most, and for their humanity to return back to the people.
