Non-violence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.
Martin Luther King Jr
Question 31: Is war ever justified?
I know this is a heated question right now. I know with what is going on in the Ukraine many people would say , "Yes! Yes! Yes!" . Le's exhaust every effort imaginable to assist the Ukrainians before we say "Yes!" to war.
I also want to make it known that I value the intentions and courage of those who enlist and make up our military forces . So many have given up their lives with the intention of serving us and making our lives better. Please know this is not a slight against any of those who have seen battle...just looking at the "idea" of war.
All is well!
We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace. We need love and compassion.
Mother Teresa
