What would have to change for there to be no war?

Admitting to and purposely reducing ego. If this were initiated perhaps the heart & Spirit of those in “I declare war” position, could come to the revelation that we are not different races but one, - human. If ego were lessened apologies & negotiations similar to those taught to children when fighting over toys could prevail over genocide. Which is what war is since we are all a “group” of humans.

Is ego fueling (pun intended) the hypocrisy which enables us to tell our young no-thing is worth dying for, then send them to kill for what we "deem" worthy?

If ego wasn’t the foundation for our leader’s actions – they might hear the soft wisher of Spirit reminding them of who they are – no less, no more, than those with whom we are killing and dying at the hands of. Thereby, alternating their propaganda to convey the message of Oneness to all. Then we’d realize all sons; daughters, mothers and fathers are we. That we are not fighting enemies we are causing the extinction of our species.

Since ego fuels selfishness, greed and ignorance, riding ourselves of it might make room within our being to live the truth of the knowledge that without each we are none. Thereby freeing us to come from a place of love instead of brawn. These things may not be the solution, but lessening ego would help us admit our wrongs – how much have we evolved if instead of fist fighting as children we now kill when we don’t get what we want? Maybe ego is what prevents our growth, lying to us convincing us that when we can no longer argue our point use guns, instead of tolerance, forgiveness & love.

How many have already died because leaders can’t say, “I’m apologize, I was wrong!” How many have already died because someone said “it’s us against them!” Ego has convinced us that we have the right to kill those who would dare disagree with out doctrine, not give us what we want but it’s ok to kill “them,” they’re not one of us.

Why do we even arrest murders? At least they have a personal reason for what they’ve done. While we send strangers to kill strangers because it’s protocol if the CEO says go.

So maybe we should either stop war or start teaching our children to fight that other child to the death for your toy! Then they will be prepared for the un-evolution of man, when by the age of “adulthood” we send them off to kill or die – ooops I meant to war (Marketing 101 – get people to forget the truth by changing all honest descriptions to catchy names - i.e., not cancer causing sticks, cigarettes… not fried strips of a murdered pig, bacon… anyone ever die of marajuna, which you go to jail forever for selling in the US? Yet, people die daily of cancer & high blood pressure but smoking & animal slaughter is legal unless it's one we like like cats or dogs...wait…that’s another blog:). Ah...humanity.

Hey! We have matured since childhood! We don’t fight over toys! Now we’re killing over important things! Our CEO makes money from… What’s it called again? Big business? No…liquid greed…No… Oh Yes! Oil! You know the stuff that fuels our toys! When you were a child didn’t you want to grow up to kill and die for oil? We’re so like evolved for sure dude☺!

we are one – yet when ego tells us we are the “only” one that matters we create a war within ourselves that spreads to a war amongst us all.
