Is Death Manichean?

    Each post is different...
    Some filled with rage.
    Others  laden with laughter.
    Or tears.
    Or prayers.
    Trouble is, I never know which it will be.
     Or why.
    For example...
    Today, I find myself wondering if the German solider who died fighting for his country in the slaughterhouse of Stalingrad  more than a half century ago gave his life just as willingly -- or less -- as one of the young Navy seals dead in Afghanistan.
    Even worse is my inability to determine which sacrifice was made more willingly -- or less.
    Or which was the greater loss.
    Or less.
