Rumi 90



'I do wish people
would not deceive themselves
by talk of a just war.
There is no such thing
as a just war.
What we are doing
is casting out Satan
by Satan.'
(Charles Hamilton Sorley, 1895-1915)

Mahatma Gandhi had once said that the policy of an eye for an eye only results in the whole world becoming blind....

Minds and men can be conquered only through love. The sword can never succeed in the longer term..

War is creation of human mind. It is just a disease for the society and nothing better than that. So definitely there cannot be anything as a just war.
Thanks for sharing such noble thoughts.

I agree with you totally Vishwanath...we can learn so much from the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi...Love and compassion is greatly needed in this world of ours...

Namaste to you.

War How deep can human beings go
We all have a choice to tap into the dark side or into the light
Why is it so difficult to choose for the light
