Honestly, if Earthfolk
told you, or felt themselves, that you had to “change

You’d say, “I can’t do that. I’m just
me. Even if I embrace my beloved, our vital

able to do anything that can actually stop the madness of nuclear
war is a result of the very practice of seeing Others as your
enemy—perversely, you become your own Intimate
Enemy.
How to practice? There

Rather, and this is the challenging part, how you
practice living as if you are no one’s enemy is something you must imagine,
and it is a practice you must define and develop.
