Gaza

On the street in LA a man was handing out papers about the wrong doing of Israel via the U.S. support in Gaza.

I agree, it is a slaughter. but it will not end until we give up the religion that devised us, or rather them. Well that was my reply but I don’t think it is true anymore.

Religion is a crutch for the slights and abuses that the people there have committed against each other. The small flame of anger i felt when i tried to convince him i didn’t want to read more and if they could give up their religion there might be a solution… made me realize people will always despise the other. We are wired this way, this is how life on the planet works, and for all our “smarts” we are competing with the entrenched 4 billion year old hardware.

so what to do? give up?

no i think the solution if for both sides to give, and to give more than they think they can, and to have faith, not in some god or religion, but in each other. Without that there is no hope of solutions that will last.
