Today I watched the movie "The Killing Fields" again. I thought I would have a better understanding of it now that I've been to Cambodia and since I've read the book "When Broken Glass Floats." I highly recommend the book although the subject is not a pleasant one. At the end of the movie they play the John Lennon song "Imagine." It made me want to cry to hear this person singing about an idealistic view of the world which seems so simple. Doesn't it? How long are we going to create war and kill people. It's been going on for thousands of years and I just wonder will it ever stop?
Do you think there has ever been a point in history when there wasn't a war going on somewhere in the world? Even a second when a war wasn't going on?
I'd like to be positive and think that peace is achievable and that human beings aren't violent creatures but then why do so many of us act so inhumanely? What is the root of all this hatred and violence?

I don't know what the root of hatred and violence is, but it is spread by inflationist government and religion. Let's work to minimize both.
