Aside from clinically-diagnosed psychopaths, I have not met one person in war who thoroughly enjoyed killing. If someone ended up bragging over a kill, it was safe to assume that their story was mere fabrication or that they were one bad day away from an inpatient psychiatric ward. No matter how much someone may appear to deserve to be killed, something dies within us when we kill. It's contradictory, the antithesis of our species survival instinct. . M.B. Dallocchio
About This Quote

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. This is true in many aspects of life. If you know that you are going to fall again and again, then you know that you will eventually rise again even when times get tough. The greatest glory lies not in never falling but rather in rising every time we fall. Think about the extremely brave and heroic people who have ever lived and how they rose up and fought against everything.

The greatest thing about them is not how they did it once but rather how they did it over and over again. After all, if they had not gotten up when they fell down, then who would have? Imagine what would have happened if their bodies had continued to stay on the ground.
