Reflections

The fact that there are so many men still alive in the world shows that it is not based on the force of arms but on the force of truth or love. Therefore, the greatest and most unimpeachable evidence of the success of this force is to be found in the fact that, in spite of the wars of the world, it still lives on. Thousands, indeed tens of thousands, depend for their existence on a very active working force. Little quarrels of millions of families in their daily lives disappear before the excerise of this force. Hundreds of nations live in peace. History does not and cannot take note of this fact. History is really a record of every interupption of the even working of the force of love or of the soul. Two people quarrel; one of them repents and reawakens the love that was lying dormant in them. The two again begin to live in peace; noboy takes note of this. But if the two people, through the intevention of solicitors or some other reason take up arms or go to law- which is another form of the exhibition of brute force- their doings would be immediately noticed in the press, they would be the talk of their neighbors and would probably go down in history. And what is true of families and communities is true of nations. There is no reason to believe that there is one law for families and another for nations. History, then, is a record of an interruption of the course of nature. Soul-force, natural being, is not noted in history. ~All Men Are Brothers
