Philosophy: The art of love VS The art of war‏

I am sure all of you have read or heard about the excellent tactician Sun Tzu. His book The art of war is one of the best books and best sellers I have ever read, there is no doubt about it. If you are interested about war, read it carefully in detail.  
I am not interested in war at all.
In my opinion war can never be an art ; art is defined as the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. It is very sad that so many people is interested in war.
Mother Teresa never attended a rally against war as she knew that if you focus on something you will make it stronger. When a journalist asked her why she has never attended a rally against war she said: 




The recognized psychologist and social philosopher Erich Fromm presents love as a skill that can be taught and developed. He rejects the idea of loving as something magical and mysterious that cannot be analyzed and explained, and is therefore skeptical about popular ideas such as "falling in love" or being helpless in the face of love. Because modern humans are alienated from each other and from nature, we seek refuge from our aloneness in romantic love and marriage. However, Fromm observes that real love "is not a sentiment which can be easily indulged in by anyone." It is only through developing one's total personality to the capacity of loving one's neighbor with "true humility, courage, faith and discipline" that one attains the capacity to experience real love. This should be considered a rare achievement. Fromm defended these opinions also in interview with Mike Wallace when he states: "love today is a relatively rare phenomenon, that we have a great deal of sentimentality; we have a great deal of illusion about love, namely as a...as something one falls in. But the question is that one cannot fall in love, really; one has to be in love. And that means that loving becomes, and the ability to love, becomes one of the most important things in life."

To master the art of loving is to overcome the desire for control and dependency
I believe The art of love should be  best seller every week in this world. If we keep focusing in wars we will make them stronger. Feel peace and love, if every human on earth focused in this for just a day the world will change forever.




Listen to people in the streets, read the bible, the coran......; Jesus, Mahoma, Buddha, all the greatest influencers in history teach the same principles and nobody seems to understand them.  






Please think, feel, focus in love and the world will be immediately better!!
