Though Twain was a Christian, some of his thoughts had me wondering if he wasn't well read in other sacred scriptures. Thanks for stopping by, my friend.

I'd forgotten this piece from Gibran. Thanks for reminding me of it and thanks, as always, for the visit.

Nicely said. I, too, believe that no good can come from being at war.

I have never read this. Mark Twain's piece on War Prayer was such an excellent message against war, when he says, "if you still want it". Thank you so much for sharing the teaching. One man's prayer can indeed become another's curse, and being non-universal, in turn, becomes a curse for oneself. And the Churches, synagogues, the priests, pundits temples, mosques, all go on teaching nonsense without realizing this. Consider Upanishad's "May we nourish together", which has such universality of pure wish.

A marvelous blog thought my friend, and it made me think because I'd read something rather like that previously. I comment with it here, I too wish and dream of a time when we could think outside the box and stop killing.
"You are my brother but why are you quarreling with me? Why do you invade my country and try to subjugate me for the sake of pleasing those who are seeking glory and authority?
Why do you leave your wife and children and follow Death to the distant land for the sake of those who buy glory with your blood, and high honour with your mother's tears?
Is it an honour for a man to kill his brother man? If you deem it an honour, let it be an act of worship, and erect atemple to Cain who slew his brother Abel. Kahlil Gibran"

Iraq is a religious nation, not a wretched country. The things they value might hold little value to strangers. For this reason, whosoever does not love and appreciate another should avoid whom they do not love and appreciate.
