Contemplations on war

I realise that it scares me to have my child growing up in a world where adults cannot resolve conflict without using deeply aggressive and hate-filled behaviour - or where adults cannot live in peace. I am not taking sides, but there has to be a better way for both sides.

Makes me really focus on my own behaviour too...obviously on a much smaller scale than the Israeli/Palestinian conflict...but if we cannot resolve our own conflicts, how can we expect our leaders to resolve conflict on a larger scale?


Prompted by these two articles/pages:
