"Blog Blast For Peace" was a couple days ago, and as usual I am a day late and a dollar short. I didn't have anything deep to say about world peace anyway. Not really. Many other bloggers said it better than I could have. Peace is something we all wish for, but it never seems to materialize. At least not for everyone all over the world all at once.
Here is a children's poem written (and illustrated) by the late Shel Silverstein. It pretty much sums it up for me.
"Hug O' War"
I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.

I second that.
It's a sad reflection on our species that so many believe war is unavoidable, inevitable. I know of no other species where the greatest threat to its survival is itself.
