急：求一段对于越战和和平反思的话（英文最好）

1

People say war is hell. They've never been to war. Hell is coming home to a world that moved on. It's seeing the reflection of a stranger in the eyes of your family and friends. 'War is Hell' is just something that sounds good. It makes headlines and gets movie deals, but it's only a hollow title that allows uninvolved people to look the other way as they walk past the real issue. If people really cared that much I wouldn't see the same mix of pity and fear in their eyes that most reserve for criminals and vagrants. Veterans wouldn't rot in homes, and their wives and children wouldn't call someone else daddy. That's hell.

War is an attempt to force a condition. War is an attempt to make something exist which is not natural and will not last. War is pursued only through fear and a total misunderstanding of how we are connected to those we choose to war against.

History appears to have provided war has eventually resulted in peace, but this is an error of perception. The end of war does not bring peace, it just brings about the end of war. This confusion of defining the result of winning a war as an indication we have achieved peace, can be corrected by being willing to see things differently and more clearly.
