Are they not the murderers, who raise innocent children to kill to not be killed themselves?
It is not the English, or the French, or the Russians and for those not the Germans, but ourselves that are the enemy. We see the enemy in others because the actual enemy does not exist. It is the missing of love that is the enemy – the source of war. All of Europe is crying because all of Europe has unlearned to love.
As long as we don't scream in agony if a Frenchman dies, we do not love. As long as we don't feel that a human, one that has done no harm to us, has fallen and died, so long we remain insane.
And the people are insane, truly and sincerely, because we have forgotten to love. And because we have forgotten to love, we must believe everything is right as it should be.
We can no longer lie that it's the Zars, the Kings, the Englishmans fault – it is my fault – it is your fault – it is all of ours. And we will fall and die for love to take its governance.
Leonhard Frank, Der Mensch ist Gut, 1916-1917
