Why we have to stop the fight

Killing one person is like killing all humanity and saving one life is like saving all lives.
Every war is a crime if you are not protecting your country.
These two frases can give us all a hint of why we have to stop the fight, but to understand first one needs to read, listen, observe and reflect.
This episode is a great chance to pass through this experience to understand how wars destroy lives, the lives that have nothing to do with the reasons to start a war.
