most of society scares me as they seem so willing to go to war...
me..what do you think about it God?
God .."Do not resist an evil person"
Bible pounding person..ohh stop you know about eye for an eye
Martin Luther King...The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destrous community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers
me .. I'm so confused now..lol
God.." love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Rabban Simeon ben Gamaliel.. The world is sustained by three things: by justice, by truth, and by peace, as it is said, Render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace (Zechariah 8:16) Mishnah Avot 1:18
By wielding your tool upon [an altar of stones], you have profaned it (Exodus 22:25). The altar was made to add to human life; the iron blade shortens human life. It is not right to wield that which shortens over that which lengthens. Midrash Tanhuma, Yitro 17, 126b
me..well Confucius what do you think?
confucius..The difficulty of attaining to the not wishing to do to others as we wish them not to do to us.
God.." Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
Tsze-kung ..."What I do not wish men to do to me, I also wish not to do to men." The Master said, "Ts'ze, you have not attained to that."
Chî K'ang asked Confucius about government, saying, "What do you say to killing the unprincipled for the good of the principled?" Confucius replied, "Sir, in carrying on your government, why should you use killing at all? Let your evinced desires be for what is good, and the people will be good. The relation between superiors and inferiors is like that between the wind and the grass. The grass must bend, when the wind blows across it."
How Confucius valued human life.
The stable being burned down, when he was at court, on his return he said, "Has any man been hurt?" He did not ask about the horses
calling my shrink now...maybe she can explain to me why the world still prefers war.shrugs*
