Short story: All war is a crime against peace

Tweet

The Sioux Indian chief, Chief Big Bear, was talking to his young son, about fighting, self-defence, and war. Here is what he said: "A man of no vision, fights in his blindness. We do not want war, nor fighting. We want peace to exist at all times." "A fighting man has left the centre of himself to live on one of his extremities instead. This leads him to unbalanced actions." "The Holy land is everywhere, and we should never take it from itself." "Our Earth is the mother of us all, and so we all should have equal rights to every part of it. No man should try to own any of it for himself." "All war is a form of stealing. We want peace and love. We do not want to take what belongs to another man." "A warring man chases new riches, and has abandoned his peace, and love, so he steals them from others, through his warring. " "War sits in the bottom of the heart of your madness, and only rises up when it is fueled by the madness of your mind." "Madness matches madness then." "But, when you allow love to stay within you, any madness is placed aside in you, and love always is allowed to extinguish any fires of madness that arises." "All war is a crime against peace." "Remember my words, oh, my son. Keep them close to your heart, at all times."
