"Give me, O Lord, a steadfast heart which no unworthy thought can drag downwards; an unconquered heart which no tribulation can wear out; an upright heart which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon me also, O Lord my God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ, our Lord." (Prayer of Thomas Aquinas)

A Song of the White Men
Rudyard Kipling 1899
Now, this is the cup the White Men drink
When they go to right a wrong,
And that is the cup of the old world's hate-
Cruel and strained and strong.
We have drunk that cup- and a bitter, bitter cup-
And tossed the dregs away.
But well for the world when the White Men drink
To the dawn of the White Man's day!
Now, this is the road that the White Men tread
When they go to clean a land-
Iron underfoot and levin overhead
And the deep on either hand.
We have trod that road- and a wet and windy road-
Our chosen star for guide.
Oh, well for the world when the White Men tread
Their highway side by side!
Now, this is the faith that the White Men hold-
When they build their homes afar-
'Freedom for ourselves and freedom for our sons
And, failing freedom, War.'
We have proved our faith- bear witness to our faith,
Dear souls of freemen slain!
Oh, well for the world when the White Men join
To prove their faith again!Harassment Architecture

"I found no good trait in the Arabs, not in ether and nor in matter. I saw them possessing neither wisdom and purpose, and nor power and vigor. For proof of their ignobility it is enough that that they live together with wild beasts and stray birds, kill their own child because of distress and eat each others flesh because of hunger."

Sometimes you get to cover, sometimes cover comes to you.Forwarded from Corpse World Monologues
Far too many of you dehumanize your enemies. Far too many of you rationalize them to be the enemies of God when they're but enemies unto themselves. Far too many of you will sacrifice limb by limb to justify vitriolic hatred and cynicism.
Whenever Russia went to war, the soldiers would be blessed as they left, but were also made to confess when they returned. Although the concept of a "just war" was believed, killing was always interpreted as a sin, even in a just war.
