"Most religions warn against war, yet more wars have been fought over religion than perhaps anything else. Christians have killed Jews, Jews have killed Muslims, Muslims have killed Hindus, Hindus have killed Buddhists, Catholics have killed Protestants, Orthodox have killed pagans, and you could run that list backward and sideways and it would still be true. War never stops; it only pauses."
-- Have A Little Faith by Mitch Albom
this is so true... i was in the middle of reading this and i had to stop and write about this. why is it that most religions are against killing and hating. but war starts because people are not fond of each other and they want to get rid of one another? why is it that we say Love is all that we need but we dont try to love? it's so much easier to hate the things or people who do not like us back. however, if we dont show them love how will they know what we wish to receive? "War never stops; it only pauses" that line is so true. we all say we wish for world peace but then if this line is a fact, then peace would also only be temporary. what am i supposed to make of this passage? LOL as of now, iono. seems a bit too deep for me to ponder about right now. i dont have the answers to the questions i just asked. i dont really think anyone does. but yea...haha just wanted to share it (: okay! back to reading!
