When many people are killed, they should be mourned and lamented. Those who are victorious in war should follow the rites of funerals.
Conduct your triumph as a funeral.
Weapons are the tools of violence;all decent men detest them.Weapons are the tools of fear;a decent man will avoid themexcept in the direst necessityand, if compelled, will use themonly with the utmost restraint.Peace is his highest value.If the peace has been shattered,how can he be content?His enemies are not demons,but human beings like himself.He doesn't wish them personal harm.Nor does he rejoice in victory.How could he rejoice in victoryand delight in the slaughter of men?He enters a battle gravely,with sorrow and with great compassion,as if he were attending a funeral
The slaying of multitudes should be mourned with sorrow. A victory should be celebrated with the funeral rite.
