Brain: War of the Many

From today's Daily Dig from The Bruderhof Communities:

Before the Genuine Can Appear
Hans Scholl

This war (like all major wars) is fundamentally spiritual. I sometimes feel as if my puny brain is the battleground for all these battles. I can’t remain aloof because there’s no happiness for me in so doing, because there’s no happiness without truth—and this war is essentially a war about truth. Every false throne must first crack and splinter, that’s the distressing thing, before the genuine can appear in unadulterated form. I mean that personally and spiritually, not politically.

Hans Scholl was beheaded in Munich on February 22, 1943, for his involvement in anti-Nazi activities. He was 24.
