How should a nation defend itself against the possibility of a violent attack?

All love is here, the love of asking an exceedingly important question.

Indeed in the current sad state of your world, a nation can be violently assaulted at any time, and thus all nations must be aware, vigilant and prepared to defend themselves, but not to the point of being consumed by hatred, antagonism or paranoia towards other nations and peoples.

Thus is the issue: to defend oneself without hating, to maintain a strong core of love while being ready and willing to defend ones nation from the violence of a nation less loving and less aware.

To love the need to defend one's nation is to love being strong enough to love, to be strong enough to love and not to fall into a pit of hatred. You must love all others, yet with awareness, an awareness that in this world a storm can happen, an outbreak of violence can happen.

You must live and act out of love, yet be prepared to defend self and nation with might if necessary.


Doesn't the use of might involve killing and war?

Might is stopping aggression, thus is the goal of might: to stop aggression.

Yet aggression begins in the heart, and there is where aggression must ultimately be stopped and solved. Until you address the way of the heart, the need for absolute and unremitting love, aggression will grow and bring with it the need for self defense.

War is an endless cycle: aggression and then a war of self defense, and then more aggression. At the level of self-defense, war is necessary, but at that level nations are not prospering, not being responsible and reasonable.

At the level of aggression nations are being demonic and evil, acting and living without love without the consciousness of love. Evil is rejecting love, and allowing the realm of darkness, sadism, killing to become the realm and reality of choice. Evil is a reality of choice as is love.

Thus one must be aware of what level your nation is functioning: the level of love and magnanimity or the level of darkness, paranoia, hatred.

In the present state of the world, an armed defense is necessary, and such is the sad state of your world.
