Non-violence

Why aim weapons at each other, when there are potentially greater threats lurking beyond the stars that we may have to fight out of self defense?

So much waste down here on Earth.

Think about it.

An animal in the wild does not give up their defenses. The universe beyond the brain is not a peaceful place. And there are, perhaps, going to be moments when we'll encounter other species living on other planets.

It would be foolish to disarm ourselves and/or not make preparations for onslaughts from beyond the stars.

That being said, do we really need to be pointing them at each other?

What good does that do for us?

It's expensive.

It's socially and psychologically damaging.

It destroys economies and infrastructure.

Why behave like a bull in a china shop?

Especially when it's the bull's own china shop, when push comes to shove?

Therefore, save the conflicts for the negotiating tables of the world.

And put the guns away.

Don't shoot your own kind.

Or any other kind, for that matter, unless they are, without provocation, shooting at you first.

Be like the Federation.

You can keep the phasers, and the photon torpedoes.

You can even build phasers and photon torpedoes for all I care.

Just don't point them at each other.

And that's probably the best at this point, that we're going to be able to do while living on this planet, in this universe.

Think about it.

And, good luck.

Think about it.
