Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I learned over time that things are just thing and can be replaced/rebuilt. However losing other people is hard, especially family. So I would probably try to convince them to flee as well.

I know that computer games like first shooter is really hard. In real life you can't just reset when you die. You can't learn from your mistakes. You are dead.

I know there are really brave people out there and fight for the right cause. I don't understand how they make it thought the suffering. Just being on the field is a trauma if you survive.

I know there are many wars today. I don't go to another country to support. I am unfortunately selfish in that regard. But if no one participant in war, then maybe there is no war at all. But that will never happen.

I guess if you feel enough trauma and humiliation and indignation from what happens there, you might be able to go.

But ultimately, I suppose, it's just taking full responsibility for yourself, including possible suffering and death. In some sense being afraid is obeying the fear.

As they say, death is unfinished business. When you are not allowing yourself to drop everything and go, you won't be able to consciously risk your life.

Why I want to talk about this - because someone should fight wars on the weaker side, where it is always harder. Otherwise our world will keep becoming more hellish.
