Conflicts and wars persist on Earth.

There might be times when you need or desire conflict for some reasons. If the conflict is needed, I truly hope that the alternative will be found. And what one desires is a matter of personal freedom, I believe. But excessive actions might end up harming others. If you're seeking conflict, I hope you find happiness in other pursuits.

Because ‘others’ could be considered as ‘your friends, brothers and sisters, and family members’.

Of course, disagreements can arise even among friends and siblings. There may be times when it's necessary to maintain some distance due to differing interests or opinions. Personally, I might say my power of love or friendship is weak. Some people might not care about others at all.

However, shouldn't we, as human beings, friends, brothers, and family, coexist with joy as fellow life forms in this infinite universe?

Additionally, those endowed with wisdom and power should exercise restraint in using their influence to attack others, ensuring that the happiness of those impacted is not irretrievably lost.

With such moderation, individuals can find happiness, and this, in turn, can lead to the realization of a joyous coexistence.

There is a saying that "all humankind are brothers" (*1). According to Buddha, the word "compassion" consists of "friendship" and "heartfelt sympathy" (*2). Jesus said, "As I have loved you, so you must love one another; this is my command" (*3).

Everyone, let's live in harmony!
