Never a thought of war.
My fervent wish. For a universal language. So I could speak directly. To
anyone. Might lead to a better understanding. Of each other. But then, I
can speak English to other English-speaking people. And that doesn't
guarantee effective communication. Two people. Engaged in dialogue.
Have to be willing to listen. And to be tolerant. And reasonably
friendly. Unfortunately, not every one is tolerant and friendly. No
matter the language they speak. But when we speak the same language. It
makes everything easier. Meanwhile, I wonder about other intelligent-life civilizations. On other planets. In other galaxies. If any of them
have evolved. With a universal language. Maybe they aren't divided into
separate countries and separate ethnic cultures. Imagine that. One big
universal country. No reason to go to war. Unless, of course, there's an
option for a gigantic civil war. But here's my guess. The civilization
has become extraordinarily advanced. So there's never a thought of war. --Jim Broede
