I haven't read any anti-war poetry but the line given makes sense. War affects a lot of other countries not directly involved in the war, as well as those involved.Radhika Nair wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022, 03:16 Regarding Steve's anguish for the devastation in Vietnam and the violence that eventually breaks out in the Kent University campus as one of its far-reaching consequences, I would like to share a line from an Urdu poem by Rahat Indori, a celebrated Indian lyricist who passed away on 11th August, 2020. The line can be loosely translated as "if a fire breaks out, many homes will go up in flames, our house is not the only one that stands in this locality". It makes me think of how we are all connected in a way that causes ripples of disturbance in the lives of us all (whether or not we know it) when something goes awry somewhere.

lie, evils, or in this case, war) do not tend to remain in the one place. It spreads like a virus and is very difficult to contain, so it's best to prevent it.

There was once a man that had a very bad day and he was super short tempered at the office. At one of his sites, the client arrived and asked him something, but this employee completely exploded, shouted rudely and profanities at this client, etc. It was over something minor, but the client said he will not be spoken like that or handled the way he was by the employee. He then withdrew all his business from the company. This employee went to his home, phoned him, apologized and even begged him for forgiveness and to bring his business back to their company. The client refused and moved on with his life. That company lost one of their biggest clients and had to retrench over 150 employees. Just by losing his cool to the wrong person and at the wrong time, he lost his own job, directly affected over 150 people to also lose their jobs. The company lost a huge financial input and all those employees, who were retrenched, their families were also directly affected. This was just the direct impact, not even to mention the indirect impact this man had by losing his cool.
