He took a deep breath and continued.
"I can understand your feelings."
He walked slowly up to the agitated soldier and looked calmly into his red eyes.
“We all feel the pain of losing a loved one.”
"But you have to remember that revenge will only extend the chain of hatred indefinitely, and in the end, the only ones who will be hurt are ourselves."
The soldier who had just spoken gritted his teeth and lowered his head, still looking unwilling.
