WAR & PEACE – HATE & LOVE – FEAR & TRUST

 

 

 

 

… and why beauty matters …

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

World  of  Beauty

 

 

In the medieval age in Europe, the troubadours travelled from place to place, singing poetry, and sometimes combatting, trying to win the favour of a much-admired local young woman  –  a combat of music and poetry, settled by the young womans choice  –  without bloodshed or killing.

 

In war the best outcome is, when a soldier and a local woman, fall in love  –  leaving the war behind,  creating a family – and bringing children into the world …  filling up the empty battlefield with new life …

 

That is why beauty matters …
