“War isn’t hell. Hell is hell and war is war. One is deliberate the other indiscriminate. In all cultures who lean towards religiosity, they all have a place of reward and another of damnation and punishment. Hell, Hel, Jehenam, anyone who’s there know why they’re there and that they deserve it. Hell is very specific when it comes to those who reside within its domain.” “War on the other hand, cares for naught. No one is safe, no one is natural, everyone is a victim-in-waiting, and every shot fried, every bomb dropped is indiscriminate as to who it hits. Hell is a realm of punishment and specificity. War a realm of utter madness. It’s place where morality can be casually abandoned if too inconvenient. Where God and the devil turn a blind eye to brutality and violence.” “War, Agent Moli, is a failure of civilisation. Because once we commit to it, we’ve effectively said that reason has failed, and violence is only the solution to resolve our arguments. The gods are blind, and all is permitted under the sun.” Moli took his hand in her and squeezed. “I know,” she said softly. “Yeah, I could tell,” said Ben. “Your eyes...they tell of one who has been bodies piled high as mountains.” “They do?” Ben nodded. “I fear...that you can’t go back to being the woman you once were. You live in a different world now. You know the price of freedom and that blood is a very costly currency.” Moli soaked in those words. Then closed her eyes. She nodded as the tears ran down her face.”
