Many in Ireland are celebrating the #centenary of the #EasterRising this weekend and as a proud Irishman I too want to celebrate too but… The cost of life was so great. I'm a #pacifist. I live in the real world and while I understand why war exists I cannot condone it. Ireland's independence came from a bloody war so while I'm glad of our independence I also remember that so many lost their lives on both sides and so many of them didn't need to. I pray for other nations in conflict and continue to hope for peaceful resolutions. #peace #lovewins #1916rising #easterrising1916 #proudirishman
