These are unedited versions of my thoughts straight from the mind, a relieve from the ‘pressure cooker’, snippets and flotsam of a mundane existence, collected over time, at the early morning hours at sunrise. I have no intensions to start a self-help group or a forum for complains!

“In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.” -Harry Lime. The Third Man.
vc A Man Without War Is a Man Without Peace
Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio
Man without war, there’s no life in your breath
You say you are free, but your spirit is dead
Brother of fools, all your comrades are gone
Through the passing of life, you don’t need anyone
Imbecile sister, your judgment is dead
Your soul is escaping, through a hole in your head
Man with no soul, your substance is gone
You no longer search, and look for the sun
Love me, defeat me, and fear me
Lust me, abuse me and smear me
Choke me, provoke me and feed me
Kiss me, seduce me, abuse me and need me
Man without peace, we tried for so long
You said you could see, but your concepts are gone
Your skin made of marble, your hands made of ice
The hunger you quench, you pay with your life
Man without hope, a coin for your soul
The madness has come, and soon you’l implode
Imbecile sister, your soul was for sale
The honor you sheltered, now tasteless and frail

Without war, some people would die as they had come, insignificant. But bring war and they are awarded with honour for the numbers they kill

Perhaps we should add “the failure of intelligence.” As in our mental capacity and not the clandestine intelligence!

The wars of conquest fought by the colonising powers were all about the perception of superiority, greed and complete denigration of any cultures different from their own. The above statement does not apply to those conflicts.

I think the wars of conquest were more about greed. The perceptions, along with religious mania, were used to justify and excuse the wars. But you are right in that if you dehumanize your enemies, it is easier to justify robbing them.

Indeed. Those wars, where they were fought, were not as a result of a breakdown in friendship or diplomacy, it was a disregard for people’s right to self determination

Meh! Diplomacy is for the weak and faint of heart.
