For life and the living!

Sometimes cowardice can be seen as "I do not share your point of view." When there is a senseless act to be taken then cowardice is good reason! When one needs to stand up for something worth dying for and doesn't then issue a feather! I am watching a film called " The four feathers" and I see the situations that drive young people into stupid acts! If a country is attacked then as an officer one can make a decision to fight but when you are persuaded to kill for economic gains then that honour is stripped of automatically!

I guess in the military the order is different. For those generals who make a career in killing; to save lives would seem an act of cowardice! We civilians have a choice to be brave! He served his friends best by resigning his commission. Sometimes friends can lead you to slaughter; ego can be blinding.

  • Proverbs 17:16 Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, When he has no sense? 17 A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. 18 A man lacking in sense pledges And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbour.…
  • Proverbs 18:24 - One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
