    THIS PART: And perhaps if he believed you are capable of loving him he would no longer be your enemy.

    A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
    Do not be too quick to assume your enemy is a savage just because he is your enemy. Perhaps he is your enemy because he thinks you are a savage. Or perhaps he is afraid of you because he feels that you are afraid of him. And perhaps if he believed you are capable of loving him he would no longer be your enemy. -Thomas Merton, monk, writer (31 Jan 1915-1968)

    This. #Christians have tortured and executed people in the name of their god since forever. Whether the people were labeled as #Witches, #Heretics, #Infidels, #Savages, or #Jews, #Christianity was okay with torturing and murdering them individually and collectively.

  3. CW: TThings we're not allowed to think or ask.

    Totem & Taboo:

    Why do women & children get slaughtered in war & no one gets prosecuted?

    > "Oh, they were shielding their husbands & fathers, they might have explosives. We had to move them"

    Why is it women & children get raped during war, the whole world goes into an uproar, And still, no one gets prosecuted?

    > my answer. Dead men tell no tales. But survivors recall the atrocities their entire life.
