Posted: 8/2/2009 7:30:55 PM | "He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
A Einstein

Posted: 8/4/2009 12:55:53 PM | A Human being is part of the whole, called by us "universe", a part limited in time and space. He expereiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical illusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to acheive this completely, but the striving for such acheivement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.
Albert Einstein | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 3:59:31 PM | I've posted it in another thread recently .. but here again for yours:
"Today you and I woke up and found it easy NOT to kill anyone. Our society however, can't say the same. It's time for society to take a different direction that conforms to what the individual wants. There can be no excuse for living our comfortable lives embedded in a culture of mechanized death and violence. The way of peace isn't based on religion or morality. It doesn't ask us to be saints overnight, or to renounce our feelings of anger or our thirst for revenge. The way of peace is based on the same thing that ushered in the age of science: a leap in consciousness. If you and I demonstrate that peace is more satisfying than war, the collective consciousness will shift. If you shift your allegiance to peace, war ends for you today. This happens one person at a time. Join us. Become a Peacemaker. When you are firmly established in non-violence, all Beings around you will cease to feel hostility. We must not bring one war to an end - or thirty - but the idea of war itself." ~ Deepak Chopra | |
