The Question:
Would you fight for
your country?
If there was a war?
The Answer:
No I wouldn’t fight.
The Retort:
What sort of an attitude is that?
What would happen if everyone
had an attitude like that?
The Reply:
There would be no wars.
Emotional Overload: Body Language:
Controlled Breathing Pause Extending Indefinitely.
Mounting Anger of Suppressed Rage.
Reason verses Conflicted Emotions! Pause extending.
The Outburst: An admission:
But not everyone thinks like that!
Reasoned Response:
Yes. But if they did there would be no wars.
The Solution:
Silence. A simple recipe.
For true world peace.
There would be no wars.
