The war on drugs seems like a losing game. It seems to be a failure and a battle that never ends.
The war on terror seems like a losing game. It seems to be a failure and a battle that never ends.
These wars over resources seems like a losing game. It seems to be a failure and a battle that never ends.
The war on cancer seems like a losing game. It seems to be a failure and a battle that never ends.
The war on poverty seems like a losing game. It seems to be a failure and a battle that never ends.
The war for freedom and human rights seems like a losing game. It seems to be a failure and a battle that never ends.
The war on animal abuse seems like a losing game. It seems to be a failure and a battle that never ends.
The war for saving the planet seems like a losing game. It seems to be a failure and a battle that never ends.
Now I know all of this might give one the impression that resistance is futile. All of this fighting, murdering, bombings, corruption, lying, stealing, racial injustices, police brutality seems to have no end in sight.
One could easily succumb to a state of apathy and despair. Hopelessness that nothing seems to ever really change.
We're busy killing each other over religion, natural gas and oil, gold and silver, cash, land, food and water and power.
Yet I see a whole different war going on that seems to be a very successful campaign.
Let's say that brick buildings are a very strong structure held together by the mortar and cement that holds it all together. Further, let's say that houses made of wood are held together by nails and glue. Very solid buildings held together by steel beams welded and riveted together at strategic stress points to support massive amounts of weight. One could argue that any of these structures are only as good as the materials that hold them and bind them together.
Get rid of the mortar, the brick structures crumble. Get rid of the nails and glue the wooden structure crumble. Get rid of the welding and rivets and watch these steel buildings collapse. Now imagine being able to do that without harming the bricks, nor the wood, nor the concrete and steel? Just by simply destroying what holds them all together.
None of them would stand. We'd all be outside with no shelter, totally exposed.
Now I want you to consider "love" as a resource for a moment. Let that sink in for a moment. "Love" being a resource.
Consider people will do things for love that they would never do for just money. Consider even those that appear to do anything for money normally will have that one thing in their life that can't be bought. Yet, either for love or out love for somebody they would do it,
Consider love being the mortar, the nails, the glue, the rivets, the rope that ties everything together... Between each other. The war on that commodity? The war on that resource? Has been unfortunately extremely successful.
In my next post i'll explain how and why the war on love has been very successful.
