What went wrong?
In the book What went Wrong? Bernard Lewis says on page 150:
"... just as some Europeans manged to create a Christianity without compassion, so did some Middle Easterners create a democracy without freedom."
The first phrase in this sentence interests me as a I don't think of Christianity being free from compassion but often the religious organization appears motivated by something other than compassion - prestige, following, prosperity, exclusivity, etc..

War = Meaning??
War is a force that give life meaning - Chris Hodges
Is war, aggressiveness, argument an act to remind us how simple and easy it is to not be in that state. Does it remind us of death and our weak clinging to the world of consciousness and life and how all people however distant and unknown can ultimately be the reaper who sends us over the tipping point of death? Would a generalized woman agree with this construct. The force of motherhood would suggest that the life finds meaning in the furtherance of life not in the end of life. Would Chris Hodges substitute disease, disaster, even accident for war. Without the tools of death would we no longer value life and become board with our existence. Would we discover that life has other aspects now shrouded to us by our mechanism and would we find other intellectual concepts and measures of entertainment and enjoyment. Is the life of a long lived animal such as a turtle an exercise in boredom? In the connectedness of all things are those where we don't recognize life in there seemingly infinite existence only have withdrawn to nothingness? What is the collective consciousness of the earth and our universe?
