Lessons learned from life

While I've learned many lessons on life, many unexpected, the most important lessons that I've learned are probably the ones involving morality and ethic. Please take a moment to think about this observation: "I watched with great excitement as the tides of war would be turned over and over again, and wanted to have it keep going, so that I could experience it over and over again, but later on in life realized that it is not excitement, but ultimately the loss of life, which arouses my happiness. Then, happiness will never be taken for granted again."
