The Christmas Truce

There was a Christmas Truce that occurred in 1914, just at the beginning of World War I.

French, British, and German soldiers ceased fighting for two days to celebrate with each other.

Hostilities were put on hold to enjoy a brief moment of joy.

If they were able to stop… couldn’t they just…not restart?

Ignoring the war within

Our refusal to fight the demons within results in us projecting those demons onto others, and thus the war is externalized. That’s a war we’re willing to fight – no admission of fault if we’re fighting someone out there.

Ignore what’s happening internally and you’re bound to pick an unjustified fight with others who have done nothing.
