I find so many women who have always been aware of the warped mentalities that are the media, religiosities, war mongers etc, and they have always spoken out but never heeded except by other women. War is a psycho male thing and yes, if sane men (and now women!) would refuse to go to kill people willingly called by one or two vile psychopaths "in office" who declared war for their own purpose, if people would see this for what it is war would end. Its insanity all the way.Lady of the Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394158858295264012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711934265212178648.post-86886981375824076322017-01-02T16:06:57.063-08:002017-01-02T16:06:57.063-08:00I agree completely with everything Jen has written...I agree completely with everything Jen has written in this article. I'm old enough to remember when news reporting was (generally) neutral, and I especially enjoyed the occasional journalist who would add a personal comment or question at the end of their piece. I usually found this would set me thinking about what else might be at play in the situation that was being discussed - what was not being discussed or considered that may have had more importance or truth than that which was being reported? (I hope that makes sense...)<br />I was not good with religion either - I questioned all the rules and assumptions that were designed to keep us in thrall to the system of belief. I asked a minister one day: "How can I worship a god who drowns his children and turns them to stone when they act outside of his accepted rules of behavior? How can I aspire to be like a god who locks his children away from the happiness, security, and beauty of the garden for wanting to learn and know more about life? I would never do that! How can I worship a being less loving and compassionate, less evolved, than I am?" The minister felt it was more about symbolism. It doesn't matter - symbolism or not, it still perpetuates a lack of compassion and encouragement of growth outside of the narrow confines of the rules of an organization not set up to promote truth and compassion. The minister was a wonderfully kind and compassionate person and highly intelligent and I wondered how she got caught in the net of religion. <br />It has occurred to me that if everyone became a conscientious objector to war and conflict, if no one showed up when conscripted, if no one would carry weapons, if everyone taught their children that true bravery was about refusing to harm all others - including non-humans, what would our world look like? Kudos to the draft dodgers of the Viet Nam war!!<br />Thank you for letting me rant...<br />DebbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711934265212178648.post-23106250071234273642016-12-26T11:09:09.878-08:002016-12-26T11:09:09.878-08:00Awesome article by Jen Ward.

I seem to still be on some mission, revised from its origins to something I cannot articulate, but when I see it or read it, it is clear. <br />I went to your site and perused briefly and your Nobull Peace Prize is invaluable! I must delve into that more and hope to be a part of it somehow.....If the bits I read were enough, then I'd nominate Jen Ward right away. I've been reading her free ebook online this morning, a very brief easy to read list of wisdom in quotes. I added one of them to my email signature linked to her site. I will soon get her books too. To read of love from such a woman and be inspired to feel it even more is priceless!Lady of the Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394158858295264012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711934265212178648.post-37626778884881884612016-12-26T08:49:42.023-08:002016-12-26T08:49:42.023-08:00Thank you for posting this, Serena.

At one time in my life I was threatened with prison if I didn't go into the military. I ended up repairing medical equipment in a hospital which was the main staging unit for the wounded returning to the west coast from Viet Nam. I saw tens of thousands of crushed lives. I have no use for war or those who push it. Period. It was during that time that I began imagining a world of Love. ♥Welleshttp://www.theoreticsinstitute.orgnoreply@blogger.com
