SATURDAY THOUGHTS: STUDY WAR NO MORE


"O thus be it ever, when free men shall stand between their lov’d home, and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the heav’n rescued land, praise The Power that hath made, and preserv’d us a nation!
Then, conquer we must, when our cause it is JUST, and THIS be our motto—“In GOD is our trust”, and the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave o’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.” ~Francis Scott Key 


The year is in it’s infancy, and the warmongers are already busy. 
Maybe we should sing the third verse of the National Anthem, more often...and add to our motto, “Don't start nuthin’, won’t be nuthin’...". 

Maybe we'd do well to practice that ourselves.

It’s amazing that the people who instigate conflict, are rarely the ones on the front lines. 
They’re never the ones in the fight. 
They just create enemies, chaos, and danger for everyone else, then cower behind bodyguards and enjoy the safety of heavily barricaded bunkers. 
They never think of the consequences or casualties. They don’t THINK. 
For them, it’s all about “me and mine”. 

Greed, selfishness, and entitlement motivate people to dismiss the wisdom chip that demands a plan that says, “Proceed with caution. 
The people you provoke may be stronger and more cunning than you think.”

There's nothing ore pitiful than a bully who has no exit strategy.
