The world is changing...

War has never made sense to me.  And then when it is a war of religions it makes even less sense.  A poster from the 60's was a picture of a flower and the caption in large letters, "War is not healthy for children and other living things."  Well, Duh......
With versions in every major religion and philosophy the idea of treating someone the way you would like to be treated is common sense but it is so rarely followed that we had to give it a special name.  THE GOLDEN RULE
The world is the way it is because up until recently that is the way we were to learn.  How can we know about love unless we know the absence of it?  How can we know courage unless we know fear?  Things are changing.  We can learn from the past.  We can know about God.  We will learn how useless war is and how it makes sense to treat someone the way you would like to be treated.   The world is changing.
