I think that many people believe that peace is too expensive. Some people think that killing leads to peace. Some people think that might makes right. No one I know, no one I work with, no one I share dinner with does but, clearly, some must think this as the citizens in our democracy keep electing people who do believe that the path does not have to contain any hint of the destination. They don’t even think that the route to their spoken destination has to demonstrate their spoken fundamental goal. They obviously believe that you can kill on the road to peace.
I want to ask how could this be and, yet, the question is taking me to a terrible answer; more correctly, many terrible answers. They are afraid. They have taken revenge back from the lord. They have built a statue and made a movie of Gandhi and thrown away his teaching that, “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.” They have become glib about politics. They have decided to not participate in the election process. They have stepped out of the fray, as corporations rule the world and there is nothing one can do. CRAP, IT ALMOST MAKES ME SORRY I ASKED.
My code of ethics requires that I ask. I wish they would ask. ASK ME! ASK ME!
