Circle Jerk

Change is not a product of history
but of a moment,a decision,
of a thought not of bombs.
To fight madness with madness
only leads to the same,
veiling the meaning of change.

too true.
It only works if we each make the right choice..
and unconsious painful decision can be easy to make.

Everything you say is true...but......sometimes, when situations exist that the best defense is a strong offense.....some things have to be thought over more carefully....what has happened to us and other nations in the last few years, the options change. Wouldn't it be nice if all things could be settled over a poem or a simple email?....(I know personally my nose would be shaped different, my poor old fists with all their calcium deposits and arthritic miseries would be in better shape)

Thanks for taking the time to read and your reply's,As far as offense being the best defense that seems to be the same attitude humans have held since day one.I certainly have no objection to one defending themself when nessasary,I do but the football game mentality of destroying a culture by physical force no matter how mislead to preserve your own superiority violates most every spiritual principal I've ever interpeted.That was my point,lets face it if Jesus or any of the other great teachers were to run for president here they would be scoffed at and rejected in a moment.If all got to witness the carnage of war they might feel different but a video game and propaganda filled culture unaware of it's true destuction havn't seen it.There are options and they start with thinking for oneself.Thanks again for your thoughts.
