Term 2 Post 2

After seeing the picture, I feel deeply traumatised. It showed how war brings pain and agony.

The man in the picture was bleeding all over and his comrades were desperately attempting to rescue him. He appears to be in great pain. It pains me to see his face. Streaked with blood,
his eyes were tightly shut, as if all the pain would be gone if he didn't look at the battleground. His comrades looked desperate. In the battleground where everybody fought as one, comrades no longer considered merely a friend, they were as close as a family member. The battlefield was a place in which everyone places their trust on their comrades. It was their responsibility and burden to ensure the survivability of their comrades. If they survived through ordeal of war, why didn't their friend. They could all feel the guilt in their heart. They're comrade was about to die.

And they all knew it.

The place was also in a terrible shape. Debris were everywhere. It was most probably the battleground. Judging from the state it was in, I can conclude that the battle was epic. Crumbles covered the entire place and it was no longer recognisable. The devastation was so great that it caused buildings to collapse. It could only show the dim future ahead for all those who lived around that area.

War is a very terrible thing. It is usually stirred due to somebody's personal greed. However, it only brings pain and misery to others. After looking at this picture, I can already see the aftermaths a war can bring. It destroys families and homes, and thus I came to realise that it is really important to do what we can to prevent unnecessary wars from occurring.
