Jonestown and the like are such tragic events. I feel like it’s oddly appropriate to honor them in the same way I choose to honor the collective memory of veterans. Remebering them as a group of individuals with their own convictions rational or irrational, weak or strong, citizen or foreign. Without attempting to prescribe morals onto any of them in hubris. I honor the value of their lives spent, by blindly stumbling in a slightly less costly trajectory towards a maxima. Knowing the tools I use to give me hope in this journey—liberty and justice—were won with a terrifying cost.
