To believe that in this world that there are moral absolutes, that never changed, because those absolutes need not ever take into consideration the circumstances, the intricacies, or the reality of a given situation, is to simplify life in such a manner and to such a degree, that human beings with souls apparently are really no more than basic binary machines, meant to simply select either yes or no, and do so without any nuance, whatsoever. This should be seen as a false construct, in which, those that always take the letter of the law, somehow believing that by doing so, that they are honoring the true embodiment of that law, should realize, instead, that this is a tragic error, in reality.
Unfortunately, there is way too much violence and fighting in this world, of which, much of that violence and a lot of that fighting is not for social justice or for anything of positive merit, but often has a lot more to do with satisfying the selfish or wrong desires of the other in a manner in which one party is imposing their will upon another. This type of violence and blood-thirsty fighting serves no good purpose, yet, despite all of mankind's great leaps in progress, seems to be systemic throughout the world, and it is especially disappointing, that western nations, and in particular, the United States of America, are so often bellicose in their attitude as well as in their lust for violence, thereby setting a poor example on a nationwide level, but also serving to set a bad example for the very people that make up that nation.
Yet, it must be said, that there is a time to fight, of which fighting has its place. For instance, when the southern confederacy unjustly fired upon Fort Sumter, and insisted by their actions and by their words that the south had the right to secede from that Union, and further that therefore all that was owned by the federal government for the consortium of people that made up these United States, that were located upon southern confederacy soil would be duly confiscated by that confederacy; this was a position that was materially wrong and in violation of the highest law of this land, its Constitution.
These United States could have permitted the southern states to secede from the Union, and thereby to simply let them go about their business, but having done nothing to interfere with that peculiar institution, slavery, and in recognition that Lincoln's highest duty was to honor that Constitution, the Union did so fight. The whole point of that fighting, was never to completely vanquished the south, or to seek revenge upon the south, but rather to conclusively defeat that which was the prevailing reason for that rebellion, that which put the lie to the Declaration of Independence, and was untrue to the Christian spirit that all are equal in God's law, and thereby it was determined that slavery would be eradicated from this land, forever; so that a new birth of freedom would arise from the ashes of this war.
There is a time to fight, physically, morally, and righteously; of which our very objective should be first and foremost to demonstrate by our words and by our deeds that we are willing to cooperate and to do our part to see that we become united in conscious recognition that we are all in this world together, and that therefore we are all interconnected, without exception; in which our overarching harmonious goal should be worthy of the faith and freedom so graciously provided to us by our Creator.
