Just war

Is it a delight to win, to get your way?

Is victory in war great?

Only from the view of ego can this be good.

On the other side were people too.

People on borders are similar and good friends.

Their remote leaders keep themselves separate.

War is between those who keep separations at heart.

Peace is at the border where men shake hands and children mix freely.

Even peace or war can only possible in dual mind. From wider angle, it just is :D

True Rizal.

Yet the kind of war we see and the oppression and what we do naturally call 'bad' in the world- did all spring from the 'ego, split-mind' and not from the whole-is-mind.
