More on Conflict
“War grows out of the desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man.”
“Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people.”
“Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.”
