But now we come to the crux of the question. I am saying do not fight. I am saying do not hate. It is not war that leads to murderous excesses, but hate. Whole villages, cities, peoples wiped out.
Hatred is like a plague.
It is all-consuming, and it springs from man to man. Our enemies become demons, their wives the mothers of demons, their children infant demons. We tell stories of our enemies eating babes - as was done with the people. Our hearts turn dar and, in turn, we visit a terrible retribution upon those we now hate. Conn. We plant the seeds of it in every action inspired by it.
