When memo­ries are troubled

Today is the Memo­rial Day. I will start with the Wiki­pe­dia defi­ni­tion of this day as an intro­duc­tion. Let’s jump into this. It goes like this “[…] for remem­be­ring and honou­ring the mili­ta­ry per­son­nel who per­ished while ser­ving in the Uni­ted States Armed Forces.” One could ask: why? The context around this topic seems quite com­plex to me. I alrea­dy tal­ked about this, so I will sum­ma­rize it like this: War is essen­tial but unwan­ted. Essen­tial as it repre­sents the last and worst resort to solve a conflict where one group represent a threat to ano­ther group, but unwan­ted as the conse­quences on life are the worst.

Unfor­tu­na­te­ly, the trig­gers of war decla­ra­tion are not as objec­tives as we would wish for. What is a threat? Is it a direct threat with words? Offi­cial or not? Even the pro­ject to disarm the whole pla­net is not enough to main­tain peace. It would be impos­sible to get a glo­bal trust. Even being unar­med, inequa­li­ties, natu­ral or not, would even­tual­ly lead to phy­si­cal aggres­sion. Would we accept to return to cave men stage and let the stron­ger ones decide?

Humans are imper­fect, and because of this rea­li­ty, when we look in the mir­ror, we see our flaws and the need for war is one of them. So let’s honour those who gave their life to do dir­ty jobs.
