If no one ever went againt the grain, for good or for bad, then the world wouldn’t be as evolved and wise. Perhaps this could be achieved merely by taking a look at the foolish mistakes, triumphs, as well as trials and errors of mankind. So while I knew that there were some things which no one would ever want to happen, they still held potential truth and innovations. I could still never give up on the belief that everything happened for a reason. No matter what me, my father, Casimir, his father, or anyone else had to go through, our hearts were capable of growing softer; though many things had hardened them. After all, even though you may get wounds from the battles, you are always able to gain courage, strength, and hope from the war.
