People who mock incidents in history such as 9/11 or the Holocaust, referring to it all as a hoax or stirring up crazy conspiracy theories about it, should really stop and think about their words first, both because it shows flaws in logic and rationality to deny the obvious, and because to play pretend with incidents which killed innocent people, well, that's just like laughing in the face of tragedy. It's as if to say, "no, it's not horrible enough that these people were killed, oh no, we have to drag on these incidents by indulging in melodramatic fantasies! " In essence this means that those who lost loved ones not only have to live with these losses forever, they also have to live with the people who deny that any of it ever happened. It does no good to forget history or to deny it. All it does is desensitize people; it tells them that it's all just a game, which then risks the possibility of nobody taking it seriously enough to prevent something similar from happening again. .Rebecca McNutt
About This Quote
They say that the "victory lies in the fight." People who don't fight can't win. Many people claim to know what victory is, but they make it seem like an impossible task. If victory lies in fighting, then victory should lie in victory. It lies in the end of war not in the beginning of it.
There are many countries which fought against one another for years, sometimes even decades, but at the end of the day both sides survived and moved on. The enemy that was defeated then did not disappear completely; they were still around but had to live with peace but never peace itself. They lost their opportunity to win, but they were still alive and still had a chance to win again in the future.
Victory lies in fighting but also lies in winning.
