Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 nse of humanity must be *trained* out, to greater or lesser degrees. Yesterday, I saw first hand, children of Palestine, with pieces of plastic instead of skulls and legs. Thank God there are humanitarian efforts along with the inhumanity of war. And those who document and witness them at their own peril. It is my opinion that mothers and fathers from every little corner of the world must call an end to all this insanity. Will their voices be louder than the capitalist multinational companies that are called *democratic* governments? One would think there's no better advocate for peace than those who survive war. Unfortunately the ugly seeds of revenge are born in some. And the shame of soldiering is often replaced by the *sin* of pride…. otherwise the truth would be too much to bear. And so the mindset of war is perpetuated. That mothers and fathers of their dead children can reach across *sides* to speak against war is the ultimate test of humanity. That we stop creating enemies is the supreme test of faith and not religion. ~A _________________ " As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill.

J.Krishnamurti > > Werner Thank you Werner, such a wonderful statement! The first sentence in my posting was somehow garbled. It should read: " In order to kill, to learn how to make someone an enemy, one's own sense of humanity must be *trained* out, to greater or lesser degrees.
