We make homes, not war?
Invest in individuals, not armies?
We create communities, not tribes?
We regain our humanity?
Some may say I’m a dreamer…
“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” – Lao Tzu
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower ✌️(via Jim Wright)
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Love the quote from Ike. And was wowed to see Tommy Smothers at the bed-in! (If I ever knew that--and I think I must've--I hadn't remembered! Now I love Tommy Smothers even more!)
And you, always, for your wisdom and compassion...
You're not the only one.
