So true, Fee. As long as there are people on Earth, this will happen. I do hope they become more and more infrequent, though. Love and Hugs,

How much longer is this war to go on" I guess no answer to that. Maybe it is going to end with Peace, and God will let us be free from heartache, wars, killings, and all the horrible things going in this world. Right now, all we can do is wait and pray.

With empathy and a careful observation of humanity's never-ending foolishness, you have cried and written. You have shared too. You have done what the majority of men don't seem to be doing. Most of them easily manipulated, others, too blinded by violence and power.

Mankind never does seem to learn. We think we have all the answers, but are often the dumbest of the 'animals'. In the end, it may be that only the cockroaches will survive...

Over the course of the history of mankind we all have seen tyrants rise to power, threaten the lives of decent freedom and use their own agendas to murder innocence and the G-d given rights of equality. We've witnessed the genocides of entire cultures, the eradication of human rights and the agony of watching loved ones go to foreign lands to be murdered for the due cause of another persons quest to dominate all of life that does not suit their own perverted purposes.

We watch the tyrants rise to power, we watch them rage their wars but in the end my friend we also watch them fall from their thrones of evil into their own destruction. Hope remains as long as we the people stand together in love and faith. Hope is alive! Live in faith. :)

This is indeed a very sad history for our lives. Even our children grow up with wars left and right. All those precious lives wasted, it hurts to think about it and yet, you made us think. A great write, an important message!

And so it will go until the end of time. The Bible says there will be wars and rumors of wars till times end. I pray for our valiant soldiers who have to carry this burden.

Wars come for the same reason, are fought for the same reason and the death is for the same reasons...greed and jealousy fuels wars from the beginning of man. you verse here tells the view from all the wars throughout your timeline and mine. It is a shameless fuel that so many sons and daughters give their lives for...some in the name of freedom and freedom is a large cost for the USA.

I admire your words.

(((Fee))) I know it seems dim, but friend, everything has a purpose and many times we do not get it so to speak. The fact that I woke up today is powerful to me and I thank Almighty, but war, I could go on forever about it. If we could just have a slither, a tiny vision of what peace really is..Here is a gem quote I leave you and thank you Fee for the wonderful reviews. They mean so very, very much to me..xxx dove If there is light in the soul, There will be beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, There will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, There will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. ~ Chinese Proverb
