WAR AND LOVE

There are philosophical thoughts and popular expressions that have been useful to guide people’s direction of life or to understand people’s behavior, such as “tell me about your parents, and I’ll know who you are,” “show me the money,” or “nothing happens by casualty” just to name a few. One of the thoughts that I have used to understand life is the principle of contradiction commonly called the struggle of the contrary which means that everything has its own contrary: love and hate, peace and war, reach and poor, God and devil, black and white, and the list goes on. This topic comes to my mind when I saw the Japanese celebrate a commemoration in tribute to the deaths caused by the nuclear bombs launched at their country 60 years ago.

The countries that have developed nuclear bombs have given to understand that this nuclear material serves to assure peace in the world and to guarantee security. There is something cynic, perturbing, ironic, and contradictory about this affirmation. In fact, the destruction of the cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the effect caused by the radioactivity was devastating. It is hallucinatory and depressing to see how the countries that have these nuclear arsenal raised the international crisis due to Iran’s alleged construction of the nuclear material, knowing that, as I said in one of my previous articles, these countries should destroy their nuclear material which is the cause of why other countries feel the right to build their own.

In the field of love, it is also present the principle of the contradiction which usually appears when one of the parties shows, expresses, and demonstrates overflowing love towards the other. The experience has demonstrated that something rare, incomprehensible and contradictory occurs in his/her mind which impulses him/her to react on the opposite direction. For this reason, it is not a good idea that a person totally undresses himself/herself if he/she does not want to risk a strange reaction from his/her partner. It makes sense for some modern love experts to sustain the theory that mystery is the base in which is build a long and loving relationship. In fact, this mystery is an endless fountain that obligates a partner to a permanent search for the unknown.
