Let’s look at some of the excuses for violence:
Religion
Political
Land
Money
Yes, I said excuses. I for one have dealt with the conflict of religion being an evil substance in man’s existence. But let’s be honest, a bible has never killed a man, the Quran has never opened up a can of whoop ass on an infidel, the Tanakh has yet to smite someone for not being kosher. It’s just not a truth that has merit. It’s a flat out lie. One that has been a great platform for many, but a lie none the less.
Politics, a process by which groups of people make collective decisions, isn’t exactly something that can get you in the middle of the night.
Land, since I have yet to see a hurricane announce its empire or tornados say they have a king, let’s move on.
Money, who decides what, is valuable? Surely haven’t seen gold do its own infomercial.
Diamonds didn’t sponsor Karl Jenkins to compose it a theme song.
So we can now just keep it simple. Although there are many excuses, we justify our actions; nothing can be used honestly to commit such acts. We could, with enough diligence use the tides to justify our actions.
It’s us! We are the evil substance!
Now before anyone grabs a bomb and goes out to kill everyone in sight…we can stop this. It’s inside of us! It’s the fear, the anger, the hate…and it’s inside of us! Don’t we have the power to control ourselves? Can’t we overcome a “love” that is creating hate?
Self-awareness is the key. Thinking about how that guy down the street frightens you?
First, find out from the inside why. Don’t just allow the fear to defeat you! That is what it is doing…defeating you. You are sacrificing your soul for a false sense of comfort.
Need another? Find out why you want another country bombed! Is that fear real? Do you see anger from them? Have you asked why? Have you accepted the first answer that made you feel good? Are you a complete human when your beliefs, actions, and reactions are purely based on fear?

If it takes two to tango then why does it turn into a tangle of two?
Is it not from within that we begin and then separate from our oneness when born?
We tango in the womb, and then lose our steps with the dance of life that is given to each of us.
Why is it competition that we must make me or us better than them?
When LOVE does not take sides and LOVE knows no HATE, then a fight has no reality.
Can we battle with the other if we are one in purpose? Should the purpose be the same to find harmony? Or should we think freedom means the opportunity to take advantage of?
To step on your partners toe can be excused, but to accuse your partner is to kick them in the shins.
"'Can't we overcome a "love" that is creating hate?'" is a most excellent question and one that allows for freedoms beyond our imagination.
Let's untangle this learned behaviour of polarized love and tango together in the womb of life!
