It sure would be nice if everyone could just sit back, take a Deep cleansing breath, and leave the word war out of their vocabulary, especially when it comes to heated political arguments.
I'm going to go Biblical on you for a moment and pass on a passage from Matthew 24:3
Jesus's disciples asked him "Tell us... what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age?"
Jesus responded, "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars" (Matthew 24-6) ... See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet."
My interpretation is, don't worry about what will happen in the future. Live for today because you can't change anything.
So, when we hear these dire rumors and threats of future wars, we need to put them into prospective. Political rhetoric has always been harsh and threatening. While it can lead to a Civil war, it doesn't mean we'll have another one.
I realize there are no guarantees in life, but it doesn't mean we should live in fear. Life is too short for that.
As it stands, the good news is we have freedom of choice when it comes to choosing between negative and positive input in our lives.
