WAR

War is when someone wants to take what you have, your land, your life, your possessions. 
War is ugly, it is painful, it causes death, it causes physical and mental pain. 
War can be planned, like the induction of abortion, addiction, and other negative forces, that lead to death. 
War is sometimes good and sometimes bad, it can make people get results that make them live a happy life. 
War is sometimes conducted covertly,  I am thinking of the hammer of the Scots, how diluting the people was used to weaken the control of the land. 
War comes in many forms, like having so many separate interests wanting control. 
War of food, war of jobs, war of housing, war of assets are just some of the wars that can happen. 
War for love, is one we can all relate to, we have so many types of love, love of possessions, love of a spouse, love of a pet, just to mention a few. 
War will always be, it will grow and will sit on the shelf and be remembered, past and current wars, are real, so pay attention and learn all you can. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
