Metamorphosis: A Message of Peace

Imagine you are a soldier in the final days of World War II. You’ve been hunkered down in a frozen trench for months, the air thick with the smell of smoke and the constant, deafening sound of artillery. To you, this war feels like it has no end. But then, across the radio or from a messenger sprinting through the mud, you hear the words: "It’s over. The surrender has been signed." You drop your rifle, not because you lost, but because the victory has been won by someone else, and you are finally invited to come home. That is exactly the position you and I hold today. We aren't here to win an argument; we are here to announce that the peace treaty has already been signed in blood.
