An old ancient proverb is
”The enemy of my enemy is my friend”
Have you heard this before
Does it mean anything to you
Is it a reflection of todays thinking
Having enemies today is very different than ancient times
Becoming friends with the rivals enemies, created larger armies
Larger armies marching on to destroy
Marching on with Destruction and Death along the way
I feel semi fortunate to be here, in the now
I would like to believe that we, as a people have learned
That we have learned, to love our enemies and their friends
That we have learned, to put down weapons
That we have learned, weapons only destroy
Weapons do not create
We need to be creative and move forward
Moving forward will give the future another ancient proverb
”The friend of my friend is my friend....”
