#44. Memorial Day Next Year
We have just made it through the Memorial Day weekend, commemorating the deaths during the Iraqi war of somewhere between "estimates" of 100,000 (on the low end) and 1 million (on the high end). But if we don't even know how many have died, do we really care that they have paid the ultimate sacrifice?Imagine what it would feel like next year on "Memorial Day" if there were no deaths to commemorate? No soldiers dying. No soldiers fighting. What if the U.S. decided to stop playing war? Is it possible? Let's ask Mahatma Gandhi! Let's ask Martin Luther King, Jr. Let's ask the Master Jesus.
Each of them taught and demonstrated to our world how to overcome the evils of the world through the principle of non-violence . . . and all three were assasinated . . . and probably, not remembered on Memorial Day.
Albert Einstein stated about Gandhi, "Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood."

I would only hope that one day we would end all hatered and violence in our world, no wars,no deaths, just pure unconditional love, acceptance, to live in peace and harmony. Well... not in our time, we have a goverment that needs to have control of every goings on in our world, they meddle where they don't belong and in the end... our young soldiers are sent to war, and for what? All because our goverment has a need to meddle and take over the country without the thought of all those innocent lives being taken from us because our goverment wants to control. Pay attention folks... it's happening right now in our United States OF America. Uncle Sam wants control of us, it's happening folks, we are lossing our freedom slow but sure. I can only hope and pray to God for all this to stop.It is like you said Virgil... "What would it be like no more wars, no more loss of life"
We can only hope for peace and harmony in our world. LOTS OF LOVE
THAT IS WHAT WE NEED, TOGETHERNESS,TRUST AND MOST OF ALL A ONESS WITH GOD, LOVE GOD, LOVE YOURSELF IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU.
