My father once said "we are all so fragile." Sting sings a similar theme in his song "Fragile." The fear of death has always been used by oligarchs, the Church, and despots to subjugate the plebians, while they reap wealth from their labor and enjoy paradise on earth in palaces and billion $ yachts. I have great admiration for the Ukranians who are taking a stand in their own defense against the Russian Goliath, audaciously declaring "We are not afraid." Win or lose on the battle field, they are showing the world how to defy the oppressors with courage. They are conquering the fear of death. That's a victory in itself.
I have admiration for anyone who stands up for themselves, though problems are never solved at the level of consciousness with which they were created. They will only perpetuate in an endless cycle of victim and perpetrator, oppressed and oppressor. Trauma must be healed for the cycle to be broken for good.
