Christmas Truce 1914...
Here am I, wondering why, if they could stop the shooting and killing because it was Christmas Day, they just couldn't stop their shooting and killing for good?
Isn't a human life worth just as much any other day, as it is on Christmas Day?
Isn't it just as morally repugnant to kill someone on any other day, as it is on Christmas Day?
Each of us makes a personal choice to pick up a weapon and agree to kill others - strangers we don't know, have no personal interest in hurting...
If they made the choice to put down the weapons for one day, could they not have made the choice to put down the weapons for good?
War can only continue if we as individuals agree to participate...
Refuse to fight and wars end... simple logic really...
Or is that the logic of woman, who gives birth and so knows what taking life really means?
