About This Quote

The war is the cause of our pain. The reason why we cry, the reason why we are angry, the reason why we are not brave enough to say goodbye. The war has destroyed us and taken our lives. But, there is a way to give a name to this war and a face to the faces of our enemies.

I have nothing against those who have fought in the war. They have been hurt as much as we have been hurt. All of them have had their hearts broken by a person they loved.

We cannot blame them for their bitterness toward those who have been responsible for their pain.
