Episode 45: Why World War III Is Stupid

Believe it or not, in the year 2023, some very powerful people think it'd be a great idea for the USA and its allies to engage in mass killing with the Russians and their allies. Despite the presence of nuclear weapons, the fragility of our societies and economies, and above all our common bonds of selfhood, humanity, divine love and that deepest wish to be good and to see good things grow in the world . . . still the machines and merchants of war and hatred, blind ideology and cold-hearted vengeance are showing warning signs that they intend to pull the world into a third episode of the tragedy we swore we had learnt from. So let us all wake the hell up, lest the heaven we have slip from our grip. Let us make peace within ourselves, becoming more kind and conscious, and use this wisdom to reach out to those we disagree with and sway them to justice with fair trades, words and intentions. No one is completely innocent in global politics, but we can all agree that talking beats death.
