However, “as long as the danger of war persists and there is no intentional authority with the necessary competence and power, governments cannot be denied the right of lawful self defense, once all peace efforts have failed.”[31]
Nevertheless, no one has the right to use this “self-defense” as a channel to conceptualize lies for personal gain from personal selfish agenda than the truth about self defense.
Although I am against of any violent form of protest which is not the ultimate device to knock at one’s heart, as I contemplate on these exposés, I have now drawn[32] more reasons[33] why these Filipino[34] militants[35] show inhospitable[36] behaviour whenever there’s an American president[37] visits the country.
With the above-mentioned, it’s overly frustrating that the “world’s most powerful country” have been able to make it to the top not because of ingenuity but because of violence. Where is your conscience? Where is your heart? Where are your values? Where were you when your parents, teachers (in primary, high school and college), and church clergies taught the ABC’s of love? You may kill the innocent lives of every country you invade but you can’t flee from God’s justice.
Isaiah 2:4 He shall judge between the nations, and impose terms on many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again.
"Every act of war directed to the indiscriminate destruction of whole cities or vast areas with their inhabitants is a crime against God and man, which merits firm and unequivocal condemnation." A danger of modern warfare is that it provides the opportunity to those who possess modern scientific weapons especially atomic, biological, or chemical weapons - to commit such crimes.[38]
Isaiah 32:17 Justice will bring about peace; right will produce calm and security.
The Church and human reason both assert the permanent validity of the moral law during armed conflict. "The mere fact that war has regrettably broken out does not mean that everything becomes licit between the warring parties."[39]
This article is made not to fuel rage among the countries involved but to remind them that regardless of social status whether rich or poor, in the highest rank of position or in the lowest, living in the richest country or the least, everybody needs security and an enjoyed life than enduring the terror of war and deceit.
Life is beautiful even amidst the trial of poverty because there’s always hope towards transcendence in the presence of perseverance, but life hits its worst when you witness that it can’t be enjoyed because there’s someone at the back pulling to fall into the pit.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, by your immeasurable love, grace and mercy, we constantly beseech Your Divine Intervention to lead Your anointed leaders of each country to run a government as if managing a family that looks at the most beneficial for everyone at home. Help our government and church to have a constant communion so we could be guided by Your values that unify than divide, that develop than destroy, that wipe out poverty than multiply, that look at life as a sacred gift than devastation through war. Amen!
