I remembered the strongholds of nightmares and terrors I had invaded, the dark gates I'd kicked down. I remembered the faces of prisoners I helped to free, and the funerals of those I couldn't save due to my own cowardice. I remembered the sounds of voices and laughter, the joy of loved ones reunited, the tears of the lost and bereaved. Memories like that hurt like hell - but pain wasn't anything special or new. I'd lived with it before, and would do it again. It wasn't the first thing I'd seen, and it wouldn't be the last. I will NOT roll over and die just because it hurts.
There are bad things in the world. There's no getting away from that. But that doesn't mean nothing can be done about them. You can't abandon life just because it's scary, and just because sometimes you get hurt.
Life is tough, and if you have the ability to laugh at it you have the ability to enjoy it.
