War does not yield masters, but slaves condemned to hate, vengeance, violence. Only Peace makes Man his own master as nobody else can be so.

War does not know Reason, but futile motives used by its supporters as false teachings, fake justice. Only Peace illuminates the way of Man as no other Light can do.

War does not bear good children, but orphans marked by sadness, abandonment, grief and revolt. Only Peace has in itself the future of Man as it can not be born from another womb.

War does not change cowards into heroes, but reveals them as victims of the same human stupidity. Only Peace can save the former and honor the latter.

War is the origin and seed of fear, never of bravery. Only Peace bears the fruits of equilibrium and happiness.

War can not have divine origin as much as hate can not be delivered by Love. Only Peace, flowing from the Temples and Mosques, will show that the Religions of their followers are linked to God, who is One and for all.

For that, listen well, my Jewish and Muslim brothers living in the land of the children of Abraham: all victories in war are defeats in Peace and are not worth even one single drop of blood  shed in this fratricide conflict lasting too long.

Give up hate, vengeance, violence, futile motives, orphanage, sadness, abandonment, grief, revolt, cowardice, stupidity and fear.

Lay aside politicians and false leaders that insist the solution to your problems will come with war. They may not know what they say but they certainly know what they want: the illusion of power they get thanks to the terror they force on you. They are blind by pride and can not see the future. They are deaf by selfishness and do not hear the painful chanting of the ones who cry for their dead.

May the Lord of We All illuminate and bless each heart, each home in Israel and Palestine, revealing the way to Peace!

Time allows us to learn about ourselves, the others, the nature called human. And thus we understand that, not as the common and necessary illusions of our childhood, it is extremely complex, able sometimes to make coexisting, in one person, great virtues and terrible vices, qualities and imperfections. Some have more of that; others, have more of this; and others, still, seem to have them in the same amount.

What are Virtues? Care is needed to identify them since they must be universal and never the result of concepts serving only to a specific group of people, product of political ideologies or smaller and tribal theologies.

They must not be temporal but able to transcend the passage of eras marked by human customs, habits and ways not always virtuous.

It is necessary that they carry within themselves the brightness, beauty, tenderness or the strength of a good feeling and, for that, make anyone who notices or feels them, to rejoice with the respect, pleasure and admiration due to what results from Good.

We could define "Good" as the invisible reservoir where all Virtues are kept, the Well where the Spirit can obtain the water to satiate his desire of progress and rising in search for the Divine.

Nevertheless, the "divinity" of Man - who pretends to be the only animal made in the image and after the likeness of the Creator - as opposite to the "animality" of the other creatures, is nothing but the result of religious megalomania of human beings. Whoever insists that only the latter have souls, forgets that "alma" (soul) comes from "anima", that originated also "animal". Reason indicates that the other "animals" are also bearers of souls and show admired and known virtues, as the Loyalty of dogs.

If we want to be able to catch a glimpse of the true human nature, in its complexity, we need Humility to recognize that we are in a very primary stage in the long evolutionary process awaiting for the Spirit.

Without this understanding, we shall be like blinds trying to describe the world.
