"NU MENTALITY IN A NU AGE--An Examination of Good and Evil." If we expect to truly create a lasting peace on our planet, we should first make sure that we have made our peace with the question of good and evil, itself. Otherwise, it will fester under the surface of our conscious awareness and express itself in the most evil and disastrous ways, right under our noses without being detected as such, hidden in any number of disguises; and it will continue to cause havoc in our individual and collective lives until we have smoked it out into the open and confronted it face to face. Why is this so important? We as a planet must face the fact that we killed 300 million people in wars of one kind or another during the 20th century, which is approximately equal to the population of the United States. And we must face the fact that most of those mass murders were committed under the seemingly innocent guise of dividing the world into good and evil people, then declaring proudly that we were, of course, the good people, and that our enemy was, of course, the evil people; then it was our responsibility as good people to attack the evil people in any way possible so as to eliminate that evil from the face of the earth. Rationality was, of course, difficult to come by in making these decisions if a gun was pointed at our collective head, on either side of the battle line. Does this sound all too familiar? That is because it is the basic dichotomy that draws the lines in each war--or mass murder of any kind--on the planet. So unless we deal with this exact question of the nature of good and evil so that we have mastered it to the point that it cannot rear its ugly head ever again without being detected for exactly what it really is--individual and collective insanity--then we will not be able to achieve lasting peace on the planet. We are to the point in our history where we can no longer claim sanity as individuals or as nations to the extent that we continue to use this barbaric thought process to determine our behaviors on any level of human interactions. These complexities are discussed in this book in an attempt to see the question of good and evil for what it is, and then to use our most mature behaviors to control it so that it does not cause the damage it is capable of causing in all our human relationships. We owe it to all those 300 million people whom we murdered in one way or another last century, who are all crying out from their graves that we must find a solution to this problem of official mass murder called war. Those 300 million people innocently died because we had not yet solved this underlying, hidden problem. We are obligated to them to get to the bottom of our penchant for mass murder, which we label everything but what it really is. It is time we labeled it correctly: It is evil, itself.
