Anti Cemetery Conflict Mankind Pacifism Post Card Reap Tribute
As You Sow, So Shall You Reap
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Poignant Reminder of the Costs of War This evocative postcard, titled "As You Sow, So Shall You Reap," is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. Circa 1910, this German anti-war postcard depicts a serene cemetery scene, where a lone man in mourning lays a bouquet of red roses at the foot of a cross, marking the final resting place of a fallen soldier. The cross, adorned with wilted flowers and draped in ivy, stands as a somber testament to the fleeting nature of life and the enduring impact of conflict. The phrase "As You Sow, So Shall You Reap" is a proverb that encourages the idea of cause and effect, suggesting that our actions have consequences. In the context of this postcard, the message is clear: war, with its destruction and loss of life, brings about suffering and heartache. The red roses, a symbol of love and sacrifice, serve as a tribute to the fallen soldier and a reminder of the human cost of war. The peaceful scene is further emphasized by the lush greenery and the gentle sunlight filtering through the trees, creating an idyllic contrast to the harsh realities of war. The man in the foreground, dressed in a simple, turn-of-the-century suit, embodies the universal experience of loss and grief. His solemn expression and bowed head convey a deep sense of reverence and respect for the life that has been lost. This poignant postcard serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of pacifism and the need to consider the consequences of our actions. It is a poignant reminder that the scars of war last long after the fighting has ceased, and that the true cost of conflict is borne by the innocent and the vulnerable. The enduring image of the man laying his flowers at the foot of the cross is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of striving for peace.
