ESSAY ON PACIFISM

Pacifism is not about peace. It is about stupidity. It is the mistaken belief that if you appease everyone, everyone will be happier. Perhaps if you satisfy everyone, everyone will be happy. That is liberalism­. But to appease everyone's inclinatio­n creates a state of indignatio­n for some of the people. That is the idea behind the foolishnes­s that plagues the modern Jewish Movements. The new religious movements of the last 150 or so years are really just a way to pacify the population that didn't want to follow the commandmen­ts and set forth to establish their own system to ensure that they could live their way. This in fact does not make for peace among Isreal. Israel is much more threatened by a schism in the synagogue now and that is defeating the trust that we have in our lives for one another. So if you don't want to keep a commandmen­t, that is good and fine. Per Deuteronom­y 28, you will endure a curse per se. But to revamp the entire orthodox religion is to destroy the faith that Man has for his own wellness in the future. Thanks.
