I believe that it's the duty of all living things to protect the lives of others.
But I also realize that if violence is already being enacted on someone, insisting they remain peaceful is not saving lives. It's deciding who's will be lost. It's a decision I've had to make before, and it's more complex than I'd like it to be. And just like me, each one of you have your own reasons for what you may have done in life. Some of it may have been justified. Some of it may not.
But death is not necessarily an ending. I believe in this program, and in all of you to use your deaths as a new beginning.
It's just... become a different obstacle with these occurrences.
Everything comes in waves. Beginnings and endings and new beginnings again.
I chose to let go of the one I love. To try to put an end to a larger conflict at the cost of their life, even if I wouldn't be there to see peace brokered myself.
