War is an irrational, counter-productive way to handle conflicts.

#War #Way #Conflict

To be nonviolent to human beings and to be a killer or enemy of the poor animals is Satan's philosophy. In this age there is always enmity against poor animals, and therefore the poor creatures are always anxious. The reaction of the poor animals is being forced on human society, and therefore there is always strain of cold or hot war between men, individually, collectively or nationally.

War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life.

Bismarck fought 'necessary' wars and killed thousands, the idealists of the twentieth century fight 'just' wars and kill millions.

The only way to write is well and how you do it is your own damn business.

I'm not an athiest. How can you not believe in something that doesn't exist? That's way too convoluted for me.

I don't think avoiding conflict is not caring. ~Shin

Instead of suppressing conflicts, specific channels could be created to make this conflict explicit, and specific methods could be set up by which the conflict is resolved.

God is like a computer, the more software you put in, the greater the danger that extensions will conflict.

Dramatically, I like darkness, I like conflict - but I don't see the world as defined by them.
