IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS WAR

There's a book that has just come out which I haven't read and it's entitled " in the beginning there was War"

How true is that! I've been looking at some videos on YouTube about history and all it is is the history of war and Conflict forever, it's been going on since the beginning of time, we've never really had peace ... Pax Romana maybe.

But where does that quote come from? it comes from the New Testament. it's either Genesis or John or both saying that "in the beginning there was the word". The Word.

What does this mean, "the word". So I looked it up and actually it's not just a word, it's a whole huge system of logic and reason. It is translated from the Greek "logos" which goes back to 700 BC.

The idea is that there is a structure and function or purpose to the universe, ok, this is something like Ekke is trying to say, created by God or some supernatural being, or really anything that you think explains the way we are all connected to each other by the logic and rules of the universe.

Now war is completely the opposite as it is chaos and disorder and destruction.

Perhaps it's a bit "manichean" to see things like this - structure and order v. chaos and destruction, true. But even so, who is the evil one, if it isn't America? Evil, dark, full of hate, the destroyer.

Not to say Putin wouldn't be the same if he were top dog, or Xi ... " the scum rises to the top". It is the nature of man, we are not God.

My rant for the day.
