Pride, bitterness and anger caused more deaths on the last day of World War I than occurred on average on any other day of the war. This, despite the fact that the armistice ending the war had already been signed. Why would people fight a war that was already over and how can we overcome bitterness so that we aren't fighting a war that should have ended long ago?
