A Senseless Battle

It seems to me that this war has no sense at all. I actually think that war itself is very useless. It's like telling someone, “since we can't agree on a point let's kill each other until one of us agrees with the other." But even worse is when you fight your own family or friends. I still don't know the reasons why they are fighting, but fighting your own family and friends is the worse thing you can do to yourself, because, even if you are angry now, when you calm down and see the horrors you've done, you will deeply regret it. "How can we ignore the wisdom of turning from this evil when we see the sin of family destruction, Krishna? When the family is ruined, the timeless laws of family duty perish; and when duty is lost, chaos overwhelms the family."(Part 35). Family unity is perhaps the most important aspect for a person. Friends, colleagues and lovers will come and go, but a well united family will always be there for you, no matter what you do wrong or right. The saddest thing there can be is a loving family divided by hate. My grandmother's family had a problem some years ago that no one has bee able to solve yet. One of her sisters married a man that destroyed the whole family. He ruined the family factory (Tornillos Gutemberto); set the brothers and sisters against each other, and eventually the factory had to be sold. My grandmother's final wish is to see her family reunited, and that terrible war makes her very sad. And to think only one stupid guy could cause so much havoc to a family that loved each other so much before he arrived.
