I may be an Ogre. Vam says that peace is our true nature. Molly asks how we are promoting peace as if it is a duty, or an obligtation.
Peace is a passive state, true peace can only brought about with a strong totalitarian government and a populance tamed enough to follow the rules. Peace is a rest after your last battle and before your next. We must struggle every day to be better people and to make society a better place, isn't struggle the opposite of peace? Am I the only one in this news group who believes that two people's definitions of peace are likely to be incompatible and inevitibly lead to conflict? If you think about it, our story is a story of war and conflict, ever since protiens linked up in the primordial soup. We are not happy ameobas, even our ideas war with each other. I am not a warmonger, and I don't believe in needless conflict. But there is a such thing as necessary conflict, and sometimes the conflict is not about what is best for everyone, but about personal survival. What is peace's place in this world? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
