This is what martyrdom is aboutnot seeking death, but recognizing instead that life is precious. True martyrs seek to preserve and enhance life.
And there has been an outpouring of support, not just for their own bravery, but for the cause they stood for. This is true of other so-called martyrs. But there is something profoundly different in the reaction to the shooting of those 12 people last week. Sunday’s rally was not a call to kill the “enemy,” but to celebrate and emulate the positive values of unity, tolerance and bravery.
