Serious question for you: I wonder if you would feel different if your parent had died in the war being memorialized?
I’m trying to figure out if you are saying “This doesn’t affect me so I don’t care” or maybe, “Memorials serve no purpose” or something else. Cheers,
You are certainly correct about that, but you and OP haven’t answered my question. I really wonder if OP was saying that they wouldn’t be upset, even if they had a personal connection to that specific memorial.
My guess with OP’s comment was more like they didn’t see how it affects them, versus any other answer. I believe society won’t move forward as long as everyone only ever sees the world through the lens of “how does this affect me”. But this is all just me guessing.
