"What have I done? If this is a victory, what's a defeat then? Is this a victory or a defeat? Is this justice or injustice? Is it gallantry or a rout? Is it valor to kill innocent children and women? Did I do it to widen the empire and for prosperity or to destroy the other's kingdom and splendor? One has lost her husband, someone else a father, someone a child, someone an unborn infant.... What's this debris of the corpses? Are these marks of victory or defeat? Are these vultures, crows, eagles the messengers of death or evil?"
The above quote is from Emperor Ashoka after he walked the blood stained war fields of the Kalinga war. Describe what Ashoka is saying and why his conversion to Buddhism makes sense.
Answers
Answer:
My take on his quote is that he's asking about the reasons for why a war took place. To elaborate, he's making subtle points about how the war happened due to the greed, hatred and other mortal reasons.
Explanation:
Well to understand his conversion to Buddhism in the first place is to understand the goal of Buddhism. The ultimate goal of Buddhism is to reach Nirvana, aka the point of enlightenment where earthly sinful desires such as greed, hatred, and etc do not exist at all. Essentially, the answer is that Ashoka is tired of the endless killings due to hatreds, greed, and etc, and he converts to Buddhism in order to find Nirvana so that he does not need to keep himself in continuous suffering.
According to a contemporary text, the Edicts of Ashoka, Ashoka converted to Buddhism because he “felt remorse on account of the conquest of Kalinga because, during the subjugation of a previously unconquered country, slaughter, death, and taking away captive of the people necessarily occur.”
Word-of-mouth stories tells that after the war was over and Ashoka saw the destruction he had caused, a woman approached him and said, "Your actions have taken from me my father, husband, and son. Now what will I have left to live for?". Moved by these words, it is said, that he accepted/adopted Buddhism. He vowed to never take life again and became one of the most just ruler India has ever seen.

HOPE IT WILL HELP UWhy and how did the Mexican-American War start? (Make sure to get the names of the people involved)
Answers
In April 1846, a detachment of American troops under the command of General Zachary Taylor clashed with Mexican troops near the Rio Grande. The following month, President James K. Polk asked Congress to declare war on Mexico, claiming that Mexican troops had "invaded our territory and shed American blood upon the American soil."
The Mexican-American War was fought on several fronts, with American troops invading Mexico from both the north and the south. The war ended in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which recognized the Rio Grande as the border between Texas and Mexico and ceded California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming to the United States.
The Mexican-American War was controversial at the time, with many Americans opposed to the conflict. Some saw it as an attempt by the United States to expand its territory, while others believed that it was a war of aggression against a weaker neighbor. The war also had long-term consequences for both the United States and Mexico, shaping the political and cultural landscape of both countries for decades to come.

Explanation:
↓What are three ways that God speaks to us today?↓
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Words We Hear
The first way God speaks is the one that’s most often associated with hearing his voice: words we hear. While we would all love to hear an ‘audible’ voice, hearing God’s voice speak in this way appears somewhat rare and particularly reserved for those moments when we’re about to step out into the traffic! The word ‘audible’ itself may indeed be a misnomer – according to my doctoral research, most of those who have experienced it, say it would not have been heard by those around them (See Waiting for God to Speak Out Loud? Think Again). Mostly it seems, the Spirit speaks to us inaudibly and internally – with a message that sounds much like our own thoughts – i.e the ‘still small voice’ of Elijah’s experience (1 Kings 19:9-13).
When God speaks in words, he may give us a single phrase or he may use full sentences. He may use a wordplay (eg. Jeremiah 1:11-12) or give us a riddle that calls us to ponder (Numbers 12:8). Often he’ll ask a question to get us thinking (1 Kings 19:9, 2 Chronicles 1:7) and as the conversation continues, he reveals something more significant later on.
2. Pictures We See
The second way God speaks is in pictures that we see. As God said through the prophet Jeremiah; “Which of them has stood in the council of the Lord to see or to hear his word?” (Jeremiah 23:18, italics mine). We hear his message through words, but we see his message through pictures.
At first, this may seem an unusual way to speak, but we need to remember picture language is the most basic of languages. When children first learn to read, we give them a picture book to practise with – not the Oxford Dictionary. Further, imagery is the most expressive way to communicate which is why it is often said that a picture tells a thousand words. Perhaps this is why God communicates in this way so often in the Scriptures, particularly in the Old Testament where dreams and visions comprise ⅓ of the content (Read: Dreams – God’s Favourite Form of Communication).
When God speaks in pictures, his message comes in dreams when we’re sleeping or visions when we’re awake. Sometimes the picture speaks symbolically and requires interpretation (see for example; The Meaning of Vehicles in Dreams). Other times, the scene is more literal.
Sometimes God’s visual messages are full of riddles, poetry and allegorical forms that are not easily interpreted or measurable. These can be compared to the parables of Jesus which use images or scenes to communicate an idea. Walton suggests that the reason word pictures are used by God is to engage the right side of our brains.1 (This idea was touched on in the podcast: Are Women Better at Hearing God’s Voice?)
Communication in picture form is a way of speaking that the Western church often finds difficult to accept. Writers like Dallas Willard2 and Wayne Grudem3 have gone so far to say it is not a valid way to hear God’s voice. The reasons are primarily historical – an unfortunate product of Reformation thinking that downplayed the so-called mystical forms of spiritual experience. In fact, imagery is the most common form of communication in the Scriptures and can be the most powerful and creative way of all (Read Why God Speaks in Dreams and Visions or listen to this podcast as an example).
3. Emotions We Feel
Finally, God’s messages may come packaged as emotions we feel. In other words, we sense what God is saying to us. The emotion of the Holy Spirit is felt physically and this in itself communicates a message.
So the presence of hope may invade us, comforting us and calling us forward (Galatians 5:22-23, 1 Corinthians 14:3). Peace becomes a guide to lead us (Colossians 3:15) and a deep-seated conviction may turn us around (John 16:8). A friend of mine with a ministry in healing often experiences a sense of sadness when she meets someone who the Holy Spirit wants to touch in a profound way.
One of the reasons why dreams can be such powerful communicators is because the emotion we experience in them becomes part of the message. Daniel felt deep anguish when he first experienced his visions (Daniel 10:1-9), John found himself weeping (Revelation 5:4) and Peter was revulsed by what he had seen in his trance (Acts 10:14). Of course on the other hand, feelings of guilt, shame, fear or condemnation are never a part of God’s communiqués to us.
So God speaks to us in words, pictures and emotions. There are other forms too – although these are not as common. In my doctoral studies, I’ve interviewed people who have heard from the Holy Spirit through the senses of taste and smell! God packages his message to us in a myriad of forms. He is a masterful communicator who knows how to get his message across to those who are listening.

Justifiable for the United State to drop the atomic bombs on Japan?
Answers
Answer:
While some argue that the use of atomic bombs was necessary to end the war quickly and save lives, others believe that it was a disproportionate and unnecessary act of violence that caused immense human suffering. The debate over the justification of the bombings continues to this day.
Explanation:
Answer:
The United States dropping the atomic bombs on Japan was not justifiable, since history has proven many times over that solving long term issues through violence will only most likely result in one of two solutions. The anger against each side lasts for at least as long as the issue was around. Or the other, it will be 'solved' for a short time, and even then will it only come back to more disagreements among the people, causing more violence, or better, just verbal debates and disagreements, although that rarely happens in large issues among nations.
When the US dropped the bombs, they were expecting a quick surrender of Japan, although it would have been better with less violence, talking it out, or even a smaller-range bomb, that wouldn't kill so much of the population and destroy so much land. The United States dropped the bomb for a personal benefit of a lower amount of American lives lost, contradicting the idea amongst most people to preserve all human life, and prevent death from occurring as much as possible. The action was personally considered an 'allegation', not legally, among many people; many others believe that it was necessary and justifiable. It would be difficult to gainsay others opinions on this matter, although you can certainly attempt to proselytize.
Partial Rebuttal for a more beneficial answer:
After dropping the first bomb, Japan had still not surrendered, enticing the United States to repeat the action. To have two bombs dropped on your own country after being warned would most likely make you want to surrender or obey the warring nation. In the end, it turned out to be a gain for the United States, and a great loss for Japan, basically the overall idea of the people of the United States.
