RE: ADSactly Travel - Finding Peace in Hiroshima

in #travel6 years ago

This was a very touching thing to read, thank you for sharing it. As an American living in Japan, I consider it my duty to visit Hiroshima at some point to pay my respects. But even after living here for years, I haven't quite managed to work up the courage to do it (yet). I'm not convinced that an act as evil as the atomic bombings was necessary to end the war, and I feel ashamed of my home country when I think about it. But the past can't be changed, all we can do is look forward to the future and take to heart the message of the Peace Memorial Park: that everything in humanity's power be done to ensure that such an unspeakable act never be repeated.

Sort:  

I feel the same way as an American-Thai. Atomic bombs are acts of evil and we the American and Japanese people are not to blame. Those results came from that generation of unfit leaders. Not that this generation of unfit leaders are any better, just saying. But this isn't the Peace Memorial of Hiroshima, this is the museum inside the Hiroshima Castle that's mainly about the city's history and fine arts. Thanks for coming by and hope you have an awesome week!

Wishing you the best, @adsactly & @stewsak
