War is not the only arena where peace is done to death. Wherever suffering is ignored, there will be the seeds of conflict, for suffering degrades and embitters and enrages.
A lot of the roads, bridges, railways, and such are built through the use of forced labor, and that is causing the people great suffering. What we put into this in the form of human suffering is not worth what comes out of it.
What I have experienced is nothing compared to what political prisoners in prisons suffer.
Fires of suffering and strife are raging around the world.
If suffering were an unavoidable part of our existence, we should try to alleviate it as far as possible in practical, earthly ways.
