Killing a Part of Ourselves

 

Famine sword and fire

In Michael Moores film Fahrenheit 9/11 there is a telling moment where a young American soldier in Iraq makes the comment that you cannot kill other people without killing a part of yourself.

Killing is wrong, whether as an act of terror or an act of war (in fact war is terrifying and this seperation is political semantics) If human kind is to progress we must find a way to solve our problems without killing.

To progress we need more love, we go to war in order to save people and in the process we kill even more …there is a quote from Mother Theresa I like….

There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
– Mother Theresa
