unavoidable??? i have a really hard time believing war is 'unavoidable'

none of the major terrible problems that threaten the survival of the earth can be solved by merely institutional or political methods. humankind to survive has the undergo a massive and unprecedented change of heart, and ordered and passionate spiritual revolution that changes forever our relation to each other and to nature. it is only from such a revolution that the new vision the planet so desperately needs can arise - a vision that sees the connections between the obsession with the individual self and and its hunger for false securities and every kind of exploitation that is ruining the world. - the dalai lama

i think we are in desperate need of this revolution, if we don't destroy ourselves first.
