“We live in a world of absolute immediacy. It is an interconnected, combustible world, where technology and many other actions have given nonstate actors a reach, into countries and societies, for both good and evil, that we have never seen before. So it isn't a matter of just state versus state challenges or conflict. The bigger problem is nonstate actors.” WorldCountryMatterStatesProblemActionEvilActorsGivenChallengesTechnologyConflictBiggerAbsolutesGood And EvilVersusInterconnectedImmediacyBigger Problems Author:Chuck Hagel
“I heard about Bhagavad Gita very early in my childhood, from the age of five onwards. It was one of the earliest things I started to read when I started to read. And it was very much a part of my consciousness. In the beginning, I saw the "Bhagavad Gita" as a text that was very classical, much like the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey" - a mythical saga that showed the eternal conflict between good and evil. But much later, as I grew up, I realized that it was much more than that.” AgeEvilConsciousnessChildhoodConflictI RealizedGood And EvilSagaOdysseyIliad Author:Deepak Chopra

“Beneath the gore and smoke and loam, this book is about the evanescence of life, and why some men choose to fill their brief allotment of time engaging the impossible, others in the manufacture of sorrow.

“No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hecatombs [e.g. the sacrifice of many victims] of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves?” IfsWorldShouldTwoRealSoulSelfUseEvilFoundCan DoSinBusinessEnemySacrificeSocietyVictoryConflictEthicsAnd LoveArmyVictimDepthGood And EvilOccupationCampsDefeatedBattlefieldsExterminationInner ConflictSin And Love Author:Maximilian Kolbe
