If man is so clever and intelligent, why is he incapable of solving fundamental problems like crime, war, injustice, poverty and suffering?

We are so negative about ourselves. Religions teach us, "We are born in sin." The scientific "Selfish Gene" theory claims that we are all basically selfish. Capitalists tell us that "greed is good," because it is only greed that motivates us.

We are also told that ideals like love and compassion are unrealistic and impracticable in our cruel world. These beliefs encourage us to fear and hate each other.

We blame, condemn, punish, and try to control others, in a futile attempt to impose order in our chaotic world. Yet we know human beings are also capable of love and compassion, as well as intelligent and rational behaviour.

So why are we not using our great intelligence to create a caring and loving world? Men cannot claim that the problems of the world are unsolvable, because they have the intelligence and problem solving skills to put people into space.

So why are we not using our great intelligence and vast resources to overcome suffering in our world? Make Love Not War explains how and why we created our insane world of suffering, and how we can choose to create loving and caring planet.
