A bullet shot not for love, not for defence, yet in cold indifference, takes one life and one soul.
To protect one I love I would take bullet and gun and shot to kill and that is a virtue because it comes from pure love. Yet if there was a peaceful way out, if I could have averted the conflict another way, if I could have ended it by showing the "enemy" love and friendship, then it would be pure vice. So focus not on the bullet, but upon your heart and soul. Look down the road, look down the track, and chose your actions in each moment with love and wisdom.
Every soldier would rather carry food aid than bullets.
The money-nexus loves what can be bought and consumed, thus it loves the bullet more than the son or daughter... unless we are talking about human trafficking... and here the worlds of evil collide.
Every bullet rips out hearts and drowns souls.
Bullets are part of the more cowardly inventions of man.
Bullets lay on the ground with the excrement and flies, each as cold as the greying world around Bambino. They were tasteless, indifferent and unaware of the beauty that was there only yesterday, the green open fields and trees that blossomed with joyous pride. Each was hollow, only that aggressive powder at its core, existing for the destruction of what it lacked the soul to comprehend.
The bullets lay over the ground as cold as the nails of a coffin maker. Each one was taken from the earth, the metal and the gun powder, and put to such violent ends.
The philosophy of money is all about the acceleration of people and "goods," and so the bullet becomes the "goods," as do the coffins, the drugs, the alcohol and the people displaced by war... No philosopher would ever call this "the good," for "the good" stems from the supreme first principle of love and is part of what we call virtue.
We now have anti-gun technology that renders bullets pointless. Light travels faster than a bullet. Our AI guided lasers pop bullets before they reach their destination. They will soon be installed in public places. Now, that's the best defence against a bad guy with a gun... because it's actual defence... not fighting fire with fire.
