Reply #54: Put an end to envy and you will end war.

[merh]

And dealing with disputes by words can be just as painful as with weapons. Words are cruel. Put an end to envy and you do away with a lot of the hate and meaness and bad feelings that end up causing wars, envy being the catalyst for so much of the hate.

I mean think about it, if we didn't want what the other person has (oil, popularity, money, power, et cetera) we wouldn't end up hating them and making them our enemy and lauching the wars against them, including the war of words that can be so destructive. Destructive to no only ourselves and the person we envy, but to the community we share. JMHO :shrug:

What the world needs now is love, sweet love.


On edit: remember in Silence of the Lambs what Anthony Hopkins said? "we sin because we covet"
