In Love There Is Peace (Tanka)

In love there is peace

No religion disputes that

Only man does this

Bastardizing all that’s good

For his own twisted purpose

    Really makes you wonder if our species is inherently selfish and ‘evil’. All of us good-hearted people are genetic anomalies. Maybe like the next step in moral evolution. Not really sure where I’m going with this.

      There is something to this. I think it may be the other way around in that the truly selfish and evil are the anomalies, at least I would like to believe this. One can only hope.

        Maybe. I think the reason I was leaning the other way is because the selfish and evil tend to get into power more often than the compassionate. Keep hoping somebody takes over and isn’t a biased, greedy prick that will do more harm than good.

        I can see your point and it makes sense. As far as the greedy prick goes, if we don’t demand something different we will continue to get more of the same.
