The Light in the Gray

"Some people try to enrich themselves at the expense of others in need"

"Don't underestimate kindness, even it's just a smile because one kindness begets another"

"This war isn't mine but it belongs to the power-hungry and to those who crave control. I gain nothing but the loss of my comrades who were forced to leave their homes and family to fight on distant borders. Their lives were sacrificed on the altar of ambition"

"The war not only brings death but also pulverizes dreams and hopes of those who are caught in its grip. It's tragedy orchestrated by the insatiable greed of those who justify bloodshed for their own selfish gains"

"Being with you is the best thing that ever happened to me. You mean more to me than words can express"
