Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.If a person spends any time at all reading the Old Testament, you know that the chosen people fought wars at the drop of a hat! Some wars were commenced as punishment from God, but many were fought at his behest. Victory came from God's blessings and defeat illustrated his wrath.
~ King James version ~
War represents a failure to walk the path of Tao.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
The Taoist sages, on the other hand, believed that war represents a failure of keeping to the Way. They are born of ego-driven desire.
If humans embraced the essence of Tao, war would be obsolete.
