Jan 30 Peace in the World

The concept of world peace is synonymous with an immense, insoluble problem.
We want peace, but it seems too overwhelming. We don’t know where to start to make it happen. We tend to believe that one person can’t make a difference and that only the policy makers can make a change.
But the governments of the world clearly don’t have a clue how to create peace. If they did, we wouldn’t be in the messes we’re in.
It is probably true that nations won’t have peace until you and I and the rest of us learn to have peace in our own lives. Then we can teach our governments how to do it.
We will have to insist that they do it – we will have to tell our governments they must create peace. If all of us insisted on peace the world would have it.
Granted, it is a big project. But I, for one, am weary of bickering, fighting, and power struggles, and I’m ready to see the world try something different. How about you?
