When Will Humanity Learn That Violence Gives Birth to More Violence Sooner or Later?

All major religions teach some form of "The Golden Rule", i.e. "Do unto others, what you would have them, do unto you".  "Don't do unto others, what you would not have them do unto you."  "Love your neighbor, as you love yourself."  Besides the various religions, history itself, reflects that, what is sown, is what is reaped, eventually.  All major religions also teach concern for the poor, prayer and fasting.  Prayer and fasting would enlighten any debate or actions that might be taken re crimes against humanity in the recent use of chemical weapons.  This is an international crime that demands just international solutions without making the situation worse.

Could we globally honor the divine by mobilizing resources toward justice and peace by replacing acts of destructive hate-energy with acts of constructive love-energy?  Can we globally work even harder in finding common ground for the sake of our precious, irreplaceable children and our beautiful, irreplaceable Earth?
