As we get used to the killing of Charlie Kirk it needs to be able to sink in how awful taking a life is. As a combatant in war I can quickly refute when some say that the killing was deserved. No, no one deserves to be killed but in these times that statement is also easily refuted. The excuse being war. Why war?
War has been with us since the beginning. Yes, I know I am covering ancient territory but war is not an excuse, it is more of a sport. A nation wants to blatantly push other nations or take their territory and a gun is fired. That’s it, in the simplest of terms. A war begins and innocents who wanted no part of it are called to fight or killed in their beds as a result of that one shot aforementioned.
A war was declared on Charlie Kirk and, no, this isn’t a stretch, it is how war always begins but perhaps we don’t understand the ripple effect of a single shot. It was a single shot that killed Archduke Ferdinand that began World War One. It was a single shot that began World War Two. That shot probably was fired in Poland by a Nazi soldier conscripted to be the one who, without question, would be forced to fire that first shot.
It has always been the first shot but only after the short circuit of common decency. Common decency? Where did that go to? It is disappearing due to perverted politics. Perversion is another form of violence though somewhat docile as compared to war. Both are the death of morality as prescribed by God in a simple sentence: You shall not kill. Of course, in Olde English ‘you’ is replaced by, “Thou.” The difference of one word over another is also a reason for war. It would be silly if it weren’t so awful. These simple things are also what turned me to the bible from where I made the decision to write about all of this, before I am called away from here.
