War on the Mind
Back in 1991 I was in a men’s group meeting at a church I was attending when I lived in Los Angeles. One of the guys there was talking about his success dealing with his problems related to sex and abstinence. He said, “…what I’ve started to do lately is fight lust, and that’s seemed to work the best…”
Now we have government officials telling us we’re fighting “terror.” Every now and then they’ll say terrorism and every now and then they’ll say terrorists but mostly what we hear is that we’re engaged in a war on terror. Terror and lust are both states of mind. These are personal conditions that the individual has to deal with. By saying we’re fighting a war on terror they might as well be saying we’re fighting a war on lust because either way what they’re really saying is that we’re at war with the mind.
When war is declared on the mind, the only winner is insanity.
