War does not kill by bullets alone

War does not kill by bullets alone.

Today I was at the hospital, and it was an unbearably heavy day. There, it becomes clear that war does not reach people only through missiles and bullets, but slips into them in a far quieter and more merciless way; in bodies exhausted by fear even before illness, in blood pressure rising like an echo of anxiety, and in strokes arriving as the silent ending of stories still left untold.

Every corner there held a suspended story, and every bed carried a pain too heavy to be spoken. As if loss had not been content with what it took, but had returned to root itself within us in the form of illnesses silently consuming us from the inside.

The grief over what we have lost, and what we have become, is more devastating than any visible wound. And so this cursed war continues… not content with breaking the body, but reshaping the human being from within, until nothing remains of the self except what is barely enough to feel pain.
