The court rules supreme

摘要

War and suffering go together akin to a horse and cart. As with love, aggression is an animal instinct and human nature. Wars are usually between two unequal parties and sometimes between equals, usually for monetary gains. World Wars I and II are the only vivid examples of confrontation between two equals. Rarely two lions may fight each other but often a lion attacks a lamb. I remember an Indian story; a thirsty lion drank water from a canal. He felt hungry. He saw a lamb drinking water a few yards down stream. The lion was very civilised. He went to the lamb and said, You have polluted my water and I will eat you'. The lamb said, 'Sir, I was on the lower level of the canal and I did not pollute your water'. The lion told the lamb, You are arguing with me, how dare you, so I shall eat you', and he meant it.
