Never Forget [View all]

...that vengeance is a loser's game, that killing to prove killing is wrong is a suicidal Mobius loop, that someone is looking to make money off your killing rage and will do so if you let them, that the dead here and there and everywhere are not anecdotes or metaphors but are flesh and blood and tears just like you, and that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's future, and we are all mortal.

Never forget.
