[SubConscious]

I've read that the Poles suffered the worst - over 16% of their population was killed during the war. They were horribly persecuted by both the Germans and Russians.

Now that I'm pushing 50, I have a different view of the war. As a young man, it was easy to believe the history books and documentaries that vilified the Germans and Japanese. My thinking now is that the citizens of many countries suffered from the decisions made by their leaders, and from the consequences of believing the propaganda fed to them.

To me, the heroes are those few individuals who broke from convention and did what was right, recognizing that we're all on this Earth for a relatively short time and that life is precious. Whether saving another or showing mercy when it wasn't expected to me is a demonstration of what I believe is one of the most important qualities a person can possess: Compassion.

To clarify, I think there are situations in which a lack of compassion is warranted, particularly towards criminals.

Guess I've wandered completely off topic. Now back to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress.
