Thought For Today 30 May 2022, J Krishnamurti

Can a soldier have peace? Certainly not. It is his job to prepare for war, to prepare to kill, and the soldier is the product of a civilisation, a culture. Unless you who are part of that culture or civilisation change, you will always be contributing to war. You have created the world in which the soldier is necessary, and you ask if he can have peace, but he cannot. You have created the soldier by your nationalism and by your attitude towards life. Holding on to that nationalism, to those beliefs and attitudes, you say can he have it, but he cannot.
