Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war, on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it. ↗

Let me put it this way: I definitely need to understand the villains I play. The best cause pain to anesthetize themselves against their own pain. ↗
