I am a........prisoner of war.......you too.......are a prisoner of war.Racism.......poverty.......and war........what a waste of time.........think what we could do with all the money we've spent on bombs and guns and bullets and tanks and rockets and plutonium and aircraft and warships and submarines and torpedoes and mines and flamethrowers and grenades and cannons and bayonets and bare hands and..........flesh.
When I stated that we will be better off when we finally put an end to all war forever.......a friend of mine said......"that would be impossible"...........I remember thinking.........I don't believe that.

These images sadden me, deeply. I visited Dachau while in Germany. I don't understand the evil that existed then, that still exists today. I saw these horrible photographs, saw the table and whip they beat them with, saw the crematoriums, and the mass grave. I know that evil minds exist (those like Hitler) but you'd think the rest of the folks would have not fallen under that dark spell. How can that be explained? It never can be, for it's not understandable, it boggles the mind.
UNLESS taught other wise, humans tend to be supportive.
What discomfort justifies such harm?
For me, anyway it all starts on the thought.
THOUGHT FORMS MUST CHANGE
Thoughts, indeed, must be changed... then, a more precise and effective way to communicate those thoughts.
. . the "taught otherwise" concept in words like "effective" and "precise" is the form of judgment that can be relaxed to allow for more supportive inspiration, does knowing have to be explained in all situations? Nothing can explain that picture because my heart is working . . I'd prefer to think humans incapable . . but I was taught otherwise.
Brad, I think I follow what you are saying, words can never convey, wholly, never precisely... you just proved that... my point is, brazenly, that we should try, in order to reach clearer understanding. What are thoughts, regarding changing the world, when they can not be relayed in such a manner that others might open their hearts to change?
Shimmer, words ring with great intention, but your relation with water encourages me to ask how navigation feels. Nudging people into the current seems more artful than analytical.
unfortunately there are many things which lurk in the human psyche which we mightn't even want to know about... i believe in humans as being basically good and altruistic, yet our conditioning seems to dictate otherwise occasionally...
I go by "feel", alone, often in my life. Mostly, I don't remember much content or detail, but remember the feel (or essence)of something (which is why I can't argue or debate politics)... some people don't feel... *sigh*... and some people, who might, don't know what to do with the feeling. I like the idea of nudging people into the right current... but, there takes skill in that, too. We get our human emotions/psyche all wrapped around things, at times, instead of remaining clear and keeping the compass on course.
