This is what the Good General Said
VA: I think that if their level of civilisation allows them to move in space across great distances, possibly in other forms of material - and that is
indeed the case - then at their level of development, when it comes down to it, they are also concerned about normal relations between people, some
sort of progress, ultimately the survival of intelligent life, if it does exist in the world. And if we look at the Earth from that point of view,
then our whole history is a tale of wars, a tale of self-destruction, and not creation. Its the history of murders and the death of whole peoples. Not
a single truly civilised society could tolerate that. Life has a different meaning. No normal person can walk past if a child is drowning! They will
save it, if only because that child represents their future. And the higher the level of civilisation, the greater the awareness of that. If that
works at the level of the single individual, then it will also work at the level of civilisations. But they do not interfere nevertheless, because
each civilisation should develop independently, according to certain laws
If only more people could engulf life at that level, Its moving, and at the same time, its makes me think why we have People like Bush as leaders, If
only our world was run by men who thought this way.
