...making War 4 comments

26 Apr 2008 @ 06:42, by John Ashbaugh You don’t make peace by making War. There is the war with guns and there is the war with money, The weapon. Domination. I read a story tonight, a short story, Written by a young woman Of Native North Turtle Island. A memory from age twelve. Her father is beating her mother. Her mother is accepting this as a part of her role. The young woman decides that this is not the kind of life She wants to look forward to. She needs to break the mold and chart her own course. She has to abandon her cultural tradition. Not the culture of the Native, the Hispanic, the Anglo, the Black, or the Asian. The culture of Violence. Leave it behind. If you want to create Peace. If you want to see Peace. You have to Live It. The culture of Violence Is the culture of Domination. It is the other way of Looking at the World. Of looking every day at each person That you are looking at. What kind of feeling are you putting into that person? Got something to say? What are the guns all about? What is the money all about?
