So death and darkness are beautiful because they are the most simple and least complex things in this universe. Death is the certain end for everything and you know the sun will always set even if the sun remains high in the sky.
What is not certain is the reaction that comes of these things. I've seen the very best and the very worst in this world and each time it creates a whirling cycle of confusion. Because as I have mentioned many times tragedy is the greatest fame, the more horrible things you've suffered the more famed and loved and renowned and honored you will be. You can be a dashing hero and emerge without a scratch and you will be interviewed but even more they want to know how the victim the man who emerged with only one limb and a scarred memory and hatred feels and how he managed to survive.
It isn't that suffering shouldn't be honored, it is the fixation people have on it. Even more, if the victim does die then we turn to the suffering family to find out how they feel. I wonder how they feel after one of their branches have died. Could it be sadness? No, most definately not, we must find out because they cannot be feeling remorse!!!!
Rest in peace Guzman, I am sure you fought bravely in the war. I never met you but I pity you, not anymore than the other soldiers who have died in this war, but I pity you because of the ignorant people who surrounded your remains and wished for nothing more but to spill their woes and appear on the camera. Continue without fear. The world will continue they way it is.
