And there was strife between
the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. . . .
So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me,
and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren.
Genesis 13:7,8 (Holy Bible, NKJV)
At the tenting (staying) place of Abraham and Lot,
there was an argument between the servants of both.
Immediately Abraham said to Lot, "we should not quarrel among us; we are brothers."
It was this ‘brotherly’ attitude that brought death to the fight,
and fertile plains (peace) were seen by fair compromise.
As such, if we continue to sow in ourselves the idea that
"we are all created by God like children of one mother, (or) cows of one shed",
the seeds will become a giant tree, and the rudeness of knocking each other down will be removed,
and enmity will be eliminated and peace will be perfected.
Brotherly attitude ('we all are brothers' feeling) will eliminate
the evil thoughts of destruction and nurture the noble thoughts of love.
