BE PEACE NOW!
What is in my mind right now is how can we create a world of peace, instead of war. Making wars is totally crazy, folks, just like yelling at someone to make them hear you is totally crazy, because when you yell at someone you automatically shut those ears. People only hear and react to your screams when you are asking for help and/or your life is clearly in danger. ALL OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN IN DANGER EVER SINCE BOMBS HAVE BEEN INVENTED AND THROWN AT OTHERS TO MAKE PEACE!
There is nothing crazier on earth than making wars in order to have peace. Intelligent and caring human beings do not throw bombs nor shoot somebody to make their points or ideas known and accepted. Peaceful, enlightened human beings make conversations not wars, make explanations in a calm and assured manner, not yelling, throwing bombs, shooting or fist fighting. National governments throughout this world have found that NEGOTIATIONS usually serve more to life and stability than making wars. Like right now the situation with Ukraine. Does it resolve anything destroying people in Ukraine? NOOO! It only serves to get back again into wars of destruction and suffering for all concerned, in both sides, no matter who is "winning"! No victory is ever possible in a war that involves instruments of destruction, all you get is - exactly! - DESTRUCTION!
SO... HOW CAN WE OBTAIN THE SO WISHED AND PRAYED FOR "PEACE ON EARH"? BEING PEACEFUL IN OUR INNER SELF, THE SELF THAT RELATES TO THE WORLD AT LARGE.
Educating our children in the practice of peace. When little kids fight in school or at home, 1) let us stop them and take them for a walk, another distraction, don't even dare to talk about "This is bad, stop this!" Because it only means they got your attention! 2) Simply take them away and arrange something else to distract them. 3) Maybe later talk - depending on their age - about the scene of violence. 4) Try to make them understand that "there is no winner here, anyway. Both get out hurting at each other, upset and unhappy". 5) How to make it better? Stay away for a while. When anger subsides and even if maybe you are missing the company of that specific kid, try to talk to them peacefully, arrange some fun playing with them. If you really dislike that kid and always want to beat him (or her), just stay away either for a while or forever. But don't scream, don't beat, don't shoot, don't do harm to another, as you wouldn't want to be hurt and harmed yourself.
In the adult scene, always try talking instead of acting violently. Oppose war to your governments. Go out and demonstrate for peace, peacefully.
At the height of the Vietnam war, my then husband and I were demonstrating peacefully against the war, and were surrounded by our opponents who were calling us "chicken" and making fun of us but in an aggressive manner. We stood still and looked at them peacefully, smiling even, until they realized it was no fun poking fun at people who showed no reaction and left us alone, back to our march for peace. That truly taught us that you truly have to embody the peace you are looking for!
BE AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF AND YOUR WORLD, BE PEACE, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! AND YEAH "MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR"!
