WAR - What Is It ''GOOD'' For??


CONSIDER THIS...
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

---Do you remember this old song? War, what is it good for? Absolutely Nothing. Let's take a look at this. This how I see it-War is the Inner Conflict of ALL men, Expressed Outwardly. We all have this inner conflict until we make Peace with Life, with ourselves. We see things in a certain duality. We have an inner and outer self. We have things that we actually do and things we think we should do or should have done. Very few of us live in the moment, when we are there.
---We see people and situations from a Me vs. Them mode instead of a compassionate, kind and Loving space. We Blame others for our circumstances instead of taking Personal Responsibility for where we are at. Or we think of ourselves and others so Negatively that we see ourselves and/or others as
worthless and expendable.
---We see things and their opposites-Pleasure and Pain, Faith and Fear, Good and Bad, Life and Death, Love and Hate, etc. We compete and compare ourselves with others to see if we are Good, Bad, Better or Best. We are Judge and Jury for ourselves and others, so we ''look good.'' We have to make peace with this inner conflict. It is said that we find Love in the 'spaces between' thought.
We know Love when the Mind is quiet. I speak of real Love and fullfilment, peace and joy, a creative approach to Living.
---It is very important that we Accept Life as it Is, and not BEND it according to our own Desires and Prejudices. Like begets like [that is why we look like our parents.] If we hurt or take advantage of another, it finds its way back to us. When we seek revenge and to get even, it finds its way back. What goes around does come around, even if you don't think it does. We ALL have our ''Day of Reckoning.'' This is a law and the way it is set up. ''Judge and Ye Shall Be Judged.'' By the same token, when it is Love, kindness, joy, peace, compassion, etc., we work with, it also finds its way back. This makes Living an enjoyable event.
---When we LOVE, we accept Others. We enjoy Others. We don't want to hurt anyone. We don't mock anyone. We delight in the joy and happiness of Others. We don't compete and compare ourselves to others in order to make ourselves look better at their expense. We see that we are ALL in this together and to choose sides creates separateness, alienation, and division. There is nobody better than you, there is nobody worse than you. We all have the same emotions, just over different things. We all have things and situations we resonate to. Our Minds can make it seem complicated or joyful. Love is definitely what It is all about. Keep it SIMPLE. Be Well.
