Comment on Question about Australian towns
palitu@aussie.zone 3 months agoI got to Anzac memorial services each year. And for me, it isnt worship, it is a memorial about those that did indeed sacrifice theirs lives and mental health to the atrocities of both world wars.
That said, what I take from it, and share with my child is that we must remember, so that we can avoid another one.
I have not seen worship in Australia, and your use of the word makes me think that you misunderstand the monuments. I expect there are some that worship, but it is exceedingly rare in everyday life.
I expect that you will be able to see past the memorial in the town the fits you.
(PS: thanks for the question, it is really interesting and written in such a way that I believe you are genuine in your search. Good luck!)

Thanks for respectfully disagreeing. Yes, as I said on other post, the term I use is not quite right, but it’s how I see it. I just fundamentally see these things in a different way. What you guys see as mourning I see as celebration. But I do understand the intention.
I believe I will learn to see past it (though for 10 years I haven’t yet). But if I found my objective it would be a nice bonus.
And thanks, it is genuine. I traveled dozens of thousands of km looking for my ideal town, which I still hope to find!
