Leaders destroy the work of a lifetime of people yet to be called heroes

People build lives in life, build houses in a lifetime make a generation grow up in a lifetime to take their place.

You order to bomb whole towns, that is the work of many lifetimes of many people some of who may not have life left to build again and their work will remain a ruin or be sold. The younger ones will go to war in the futile effort to reverse the destruction. It is no different on your side for the young. They leave families for the food they buy with the wage you pay, and you send a message telling the family, their son, father, brother has died without remorse crossing your face leave the feeling ever touching your heart and thought your mind. Others in your clan of leaders send arms the young of the invaded to fight and give work to their factories that make those arms. Yet others play the act of sympathy and give shelter.

Humanity needs a new code of morality for leaders. We punish contractors who build faulty houses that kill. Yet leaders who destroy the work of life time of people live in comfort and are praised as heroes.

Reading about the Indian Urdu poet Nida Fazli learned his house was burned in communal riots.
