SOME
USEFUL THOUGHTS
1.
To kill is to murder. You cannot
escape God’s punishment even if you kill a person in a war. War itself is
unjustified. It takes the place of discussion and diplomacy.
2.
When a big country attacks a small
country, It commits a sin because it promotes the belief that might is right.
Think for a moment the issue of strength of two persons when they are equally
unarmed.
3.
What
is the definition of a big country today? The one which has more deadly weapons. Such a country is also known
as a country having nuclear weapons.
4.
The world today has become a
commercial market. Whereas a particular country manufactures and sells weapons, it has
also competitors in this field.
5.
Power today depends upon weapons not
on ideas and arguments.
6.
It is unfortunate that a just war has become a rare thing.
7.
Anger is one of the motivators of
many conflicts. In the list of seven deadly sins given in the Bible anger occupies
a high place. Other six sins in that list are: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony,
and indolence.
8.
We should dislike all those persons who commit any one
or more of the sins mentioned in above-mentioned list.
9.
Pride is considered the most serious
sin because it acts as the root of other sins like envy, anger greed and gluttony. According to the Bible pride is the mother of
all sins. It is believed to be the sin which turned Lucifer (representative of divine beauty)
to Satan (Devil, one who entices humans into sin and oppose God.)
10.
Anger is also a destructive sin. In
Hinduism, it leads to sinful actions. It is “slayer of people” and a cause of
destruction. In Islam It is “ a state that often leads to negative
consequences.” According to Judaism anger requires “strict management to avoid
sinful actions.”
To conclude, here is a
famous quote: “It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility
that makes men as angels.”
