 It
doesn't matter if we are right or wrong in war, it always creates
misery for both parties. We understand that even our enemies have
souls, sentiments, intelligence, compassion and understanding. It's
just that we don't sit together and talk. We don't make friends. We're
not supposed to make friends with our enemies, so we sometimes forget
that they are also human like us. Therefore, it is easy to slay someone
whom we do not think much of or whom we don't hold in high esteem.

If the
government, the leaders of this world understood the power of love,
they would never make war. They would just use love to destroy their
enemies in no time. Just love your enemy, and then they will surrender.
They will drop all their weapons and come to you on their knees. That's
why Jesus said, "Love your enemy." Loving our enemy is loving
ourselves. Loving our enemy means bringing peace to ourselves.
