Ambient Awareness

I stumbled across these two articles on the internet, and even though I wouldn't actually read both articles to the full extent, they were a definite source of entertainment.

Here are the results:

Is War as Old as Gravity?

Is War as old as Gravity?

If I love Peace, do I have to love the trees?

Are there animals that like peace and animals that like war?

Is Peace quiet?

Is making war an instinct that we inherit from our ancient farming ancestors?

Were farmers the first Warriors?

Do we Love without thinking?

Do we do the right thing without thinking?

When children fight with their brothers & sisters, are they learning about war?

How do we test the limits of our bodies without war?

Why do they compare war to a man, and peace to a woman?

Peace is unpredictable.

Why is dangerous to say: never forget?
