Evil Clown Suggests They Remember All The Good Things That Happened Over
The most gratifying was seeing hundreds of students from Holy Central, Sacred and Reverent Affirmation High School lining the streets of Revered Deceased Leader Road.
It was not long ago that these veterans attended those same schools, and never in their wildest dreams did they ever consider being part of an international conflict.
In the past many vets came home to ridicule and scorn after serving their country in unpopular invasions.
I'm sure the emotions were mixed for these war heroes.
As much as they had to love the slow stately pace the buses drove to display them to the crowds, including current high schoolers who will soon take up their part in the eternal struggle, I'm sure they wished they could just get to the armory to see their families.
As much as the wonderful mindless fervor of residents meant, rushing into the arms of their families in front of crowds of journalists and those participating via television what this long slow trip was all about.
For those that lived, it had to be one of the highlights of their lives, and a memory to beat just about anything else and comfort them in the long weeks and months of readjustment to come.
Everyone was happy and excited to see our friends and neighbors return from foreign shores, where they did their part to help that country rebound from a war that continues to cause turmoil, injury, death and controversy.
Luckily this group came home virtually unscathed from their tour of duty. Having avoided injury to their bodies, but the amount of injury to their hearts and souls and minds may not be known for years.
I suggest they remember all the good things that happened over there and the entire experience, but don't forget some of the bad things.
Life is so precious, and after going through the turmoil and danger of war, that means so much more in the comfort of being home.
Like a Buddha, cultivate that tranquil place at least once day and, if necessary, call that focus to mind as you kneel for the boss, kill a rat for smokes and favors or ignore the homeless.
