There are all kinds of war. As a civilization we wage war on hunger, disease, drugs to name a few. As earnest as our efforts are, these conditions persist. Why? I believe because they are out of step with the Tao, Which knows of no war on anything and has no knowledge of hunger or disease or anything untoward. The Tao flows with love - gently, surely, naturally using no force and giving, giving, giving.
Our beliefs create our individual worlds. We can live a life of peace and beauty or we can see enemies everywhere in every voiced opinion or behavior that differs from our own. We do not have to take up arms to be at war. War rages within each heart that is closed to the flow of love and the resulting peace.
A strong nation comes not from the number of weapons it possesses but from the empowerment of its citizens who live in peace because they believe that love is the strongest power of all.
