poverty and war

War is always good business, even if only for a tiny fraction of people. Weapons sales promise huge profits, far more than if the opponents were to use diplomatic means to seek real peace and, if necessary, were prepared to compromise. Collateral damage such as war deaths and war violence, poisoned soil, poisoned water and polluted air are gladly accepted for good financial profit and for positions of power. Hunger, thirst and disease that result from this prepare fertile ground for endless poverty. Not for industry, of course, and especially not for the arms industry, which profits handsomely from it. But for the people and animals that have to survive there. Every party, every media and religious community that supports this war business in any way and does not consciously strive for a settlement and peace, or that simply remains silent about it, is complicit in this deliberate poverty. Every citizen of a war-supporting country who lounges comfortably on their sofa in front of a beer or at the bar and believes that these terrible machinations are right is complicit in the poverty of the people affected by war poverty. But let's be honest: Peace does not begin on the outside. Peace begins first and foremost within ourselves. In our own hearts. Only when we have recognized this and are prepared to create peace and forgiveness within ourselves and in our families, our neighborhood, etc., can we also convincingly convey this to the outside world. If we are not prepared to do this, however, the war on the outside will continue to prevail, with the profits that come with it for a few and the unbelievable misery and terrible poverty that comes with it for many. - To all parties, media, churches and other religious communities affected: are you really so indifferent to all of this - the main thing is that the money is right and that you have been proven right on all levels?
