Even killing in war is about intent...if done without malice as you say, that is the unfortunately and predictable outcome of participating in battle. You will kill and you may be killed.

Yet, even as a soldier, if you do not follow rules of engagement (if you torture, if you order unnecessary execution or if you enact unnecessary killing, if you intentionally kill civilians, if you indulge in killing, torture, or violence because you enjoy it or because it makes you feel powerful or in control)...then this is also "not ok".

What folks may not realise is that these killings motivated by emotion will follow us down through the ages, across lifetimes, till they &/or we reach out to make it right. You're never rid of that which you've sowed, till you consciously own it and work to make it right with that other soul, often in some other seemingly far-removed lifetime.

Peace & blessings
