Now imagine war. It's 1000 times worse. People with blown limbs and their guts literally in their hands, screaming in agony for their gods and their mothers until they pass out and die, their last moments of existence in wretched pain. Imagine people being lined up and shot, one by one, seeing their fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and their own children die one by one before them, while they are utterly powerless to stop it, until it's their turn to return to the void. Imagine feeling the pain and suffering of a million different souls all at once.
The world is full of horrors that should never be experienced by any soul, and yet we inflict it upon ourselves and each other somewhere in the world, every single day.
Take comfort in the fact that he choose this fate for himself and this fate was not imposed on him by others.
