We Are At War With Each Other Because...
(Or, "We Are At War With Ourselves")
We
Are
At
War
With
Each
Other,
Because
We
Are
At
War
With
Ourselves.
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Three Dark Horses)

My Writing About How The Conflicts Across From Us Are The Conflicts Within Us: The conflicts that we are fighting with those who are across from us are the same conflicts that we are fighting within our own consciousness. In other words, the conflicts that are across from us are the conflicts within us. –Paul Whiting (written approximately on May 10th, 2016 and turned into 'my writing' from my notes on May 11th, 2024)
My Spiritual Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: What the phrase "We are at war with each other, because we are at war with ourselves" means to me is this: the conflicts that we are fighting with those who are across from us are the same conflicts that we are fighting within our own consciousness. In other words, the conflicts that are across from us are the conflicts within us.
