A big one was impossible, they used to say. It would cost too much. It would disrupt world trade and bankrupt everybody. Even after the first World War people didn't accept war as normal. They had to call it The War to End War or we wouldn't have fought it. * 5 Really peaceful countries do not waste life and energy in war preparations, with the result that peace is maintained. * 6 ...an honorable and a peaceful life in this world... are in conformity with human nature. * 7 It is a great thing to preserve the rule of peace... * 8 Wars will cease only when two conditions have been fulfilled -- the first, that men shall have a genuine desire for peace; the second, that their feelings shall have been humanized in regard not to fighting only, but to the other conditions of life. * 9 The strongest is always the least violent. * 10 Though it is uncreated itself, it creates all things. Because it has no substance, it can enter into where there is no space. Exercising by returning to itself, winning victories by remaining gentle and yielding, it is softer than anything, and therefore it overcomes everything hard. What does this tell you about the benefit of non-action and silence?
