Generally,
civilians slaughtered in War have a tendency to be airbrushed out of history. It is, as if they
never existed.
The object
of the ten2one initiative is to try
to raise public awareness of their slaughter. So (despite their being airbrushed out of history) they are remembered.
This it will hope to achieve by commemorating ALL
the civilians and civilian populations ever
slaughtered in the Past, the Present and the Future. For this purpose ten2one
will use the image of
three tears of blood, which really is appropriate.
The first "tear of blood" is for all the civilians:
Particularly the women, boys, girls, toddlers and babies slaughtered by military and paramilitary action in our PAST. Our past referring
to the past of Humanity.
The second "tear of blood" is for all the
civilians: Particularly the women, boys,
girls, toddlers and babies being slaughtered by military and paramilitary action in our
PRESENT.
Our present referring to the present of Humanity.
The third tear of blood is for all the civilians:
Particularly the women, boys, girls, toddlers and babies who
will be slaughtered by military and paramilitary action in our FUTURE.
"Our future" referring to the future of Humanity.
Not just "our own" civilian war dead in
a narrow "tribal" (or nationalistic) sense. But: In the true spirit
of our common
Humanity; ALL of our planet's civilian War Dead...
ALL of our fellow-Human-family-members
(civilians) ever slaughtered by militarism globally - regardless of nationality, tribe, creed or belief.
For example: The laying of wreaths. When laying a wreath in memory
of ALL the men, women, girls, boys, toddlers and babies killed by aerial bombing.
That wreath-laying is dedicated to all the men, women, children
and babies killed in Coventry. Dresden. Tokyo-Yokohama. London. Hiroshima. Hamburg. Nagasaki. Berlin and All other cities where the civilian population
were subjected to the horror of aerial bombing.
