About This Quote

The hardest part of being a soldier is killing. However, after you do it once, it becomes easier. Killing the next person becomes easier, killing the next one and the next one. It’s easy to pick on the people who are weaker than you are, but just imagine if you were in their position.

Imagine if your family didn’t have enough food to eat or if you had no place to live or your parents were being abused. Imagine what life would be like if you didn’t have the capacity to do whatever it takes to get better for yourself and your loved ones. We all ask ourselves, “What would I do if I was in their position?” We all have similar questions about our lives, especially when we are working hard to reach our goals.

We all have choices in life that will affect us in different ways. For some, these choices may be easy to make, but for others they may feel like they will never end in success. Most of us would agree that fighting for what we believe in is something that is worth doing every day of our lives.
