Wouldn’t it be amazing if people focused on the things that connect us— the stars, the universe, the creation of atoms, the Earth, life, evolution, the interconnectedness of it all— rather than on the silly beliefs that separate us, or on the self-centered desires for wealth and power brought about by a corrupt system run by lunatics..

War should be considered a complete absurdity, a failure of the human species. A shameful, primitive practice. A loss from the very start.

So long as there are wars we cannot consider ourselves an intelligent species. We’ve gotten so far in understanding the universe and advancing technology, yet we’ve gotten nowhere in applying that understanding to our society as a whole. We remain a tribal, primitive society, only now with more powerful weapons and more violence.

What a shame.
