|content=The good books give lots of guidance that is seemingly contradictory. A main difficulty is in knowing what to apply when. The original paradigm of ''''regulated expression'''' in my opinion.

|content=Isaiah 2:4 says: “They shall beat their swords into ploughshares...nation shall not lift up sword against nation.”
The thing about Ploughshares, and on which Isaiah is mute here, is that they can just as easily be beaten into swords.
And these are by far the most inspiring 'Ploughshares' I have ever seen.

|content=“A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up”
-Ecclesiastices
You need to break empathy to kill. And you need to kill to defend your world.
But you need to also come back. Wars end. Life goes on for the living.
The Jewish people are a life cult. Not a death cult.
To life.
