veterans_day_quotes_meaning.jpgby Ethan Nichtern

I thought this was a good patriotic quote for Veterans Day:

For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time:
Hatred ceases by love alone, this is an eternal law.

-The Dhammapada
Sayings of the Buddha

My Thought of the Day: Let’s not forget that while we honor all current and past veterans for their sacrifice, that we might also hope eventually our society stops creating more veterans. Honoring veterans is a great and meaningful act, but one I truly hope no longer exists in 100 years, for lack of former soldiers to honor.
