That's exactly what I thought. I didn't know people misunderstood this but thanks for clearing it
up just in case. |

This is an interesting and good point. I do think that people these days tend to associate this
saying with peace movements and left-wing activists, who call for a united world, with no barriers
and peaceful co-existence between different nations. Yet "make love, not war" really has very little
to do with embracing one's enemies and much more with the sexual revolution that gripped the Western
world in the 1960s. To be sure, cultural icons like John Lennon vehemently opposed the Vietnam War
and US/Soviet tensions, but what they meant by this expression was that if people would place as
much value on sex as they do on war--and dedicate as much time to sexual relations--then the world
would be a much better place.
"Make love not war" is most closely associated with Lennon. The late singer's own life and his
activities indicate that he was--at least in part-- thinking about sex when he uttered these words,
such as during his famous "bed-in" with Yoko Ono at Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel. |

I doubt it that saying has been around for a long time. The previous humans could not have tested
that while having sex ones hostility levels drops in most humans. I'm about 80% sure that it means
instead of fighting to love each other and work together. Just a childish concept |
