Honour, Aspiration, and Inspiration
Anzac Day is not about glorifying war. I suppose one negative of celebrating Anzac Day could be that it reinforces the view that violence is the way to resolve conflicts. As has become evident over recent months with a surge in cases of domestic violence and allegations of sexual abuse amongst prominent people, we have far too much of that already in our society. However, I would suggest that Anzac Day is actually about two quite different things.
