INEVITABLE WAR?
Is it inevitable, the wars? Is it built
into God's unholy system?
In our holiest
expression of universal Purpose, we connect with - bond with - unite with other
human souls, connection facilitated by shared experience – beliefs -
identity. We are naturally and rightly drawn to support these family
members – teammates - comrades. Then, in the process of that mutual
support, we inflict atrocities on those in that other competing family – sect -
or army.
Is it inevitable? Can we not be loyal to
our nation without being party to destruction of the other nation? Can we
love and support and be loyal to the warrior while not supporting and condoning
the war?
Individually, in some situations, we can abjure
war while embracing the warrior. But surely many cases demand supporting
the active combat or else watching the loved comrade or family member fall
victim.
in spite of entropy and resource shortages, God's Creation does not dictate inevitable wars. Wars arise from freely chosen evil in the hearts of malevolent and politically popular leaders. These leaders are in turn enthusiastically empowered by the willful evil in our hearts, we the humanity that eagerly follow. The ensuing conflagration then sweeps up individuals, participation motivated by loyalty to family, tribe, and comrades,...... inevitable participation in the not inevitable wars.
