Everything has a time and place. Actions taken in less than a second can produce results lasting more than a lifetime. When help can not wait, planning is still needed to avoid careless mistakes. Preparation is vital, yet one can not prepare for everything. One should be strong enough to stand up to the toughest adversity and sensitive enough to feel the slightest needs of another. Can one truly fight for peace? Life is full of apparent contradictions that somehow blend together. While war and peace come and go, love is the constant that remains.
