It sounds like a cliche, I know, but peace is far more than the absence of war: it's about the positive and active presence of a spirit that recognises our common humanity and our deep interdependence on each other. Just as the butterfly that flaps its wings in the silence of the rainforest can (if chaos theory is to be believed) trigger events like cyclones and hurricanes, so the despair and humiliation of those who are not accorded the full respect and dignity owing to every human being by virtue of their humanity will thwart our hopes of a peaceful world. Peace must be built on a recognition of the inviolable dignity of every human being wherever in the world that person lives (Iran, Ireland, Ivory Coast or Israel) and on each of us living our individual lives in accordance with that principle.

The People of the nations of the world should not let those in power (in any country) create artificial hatreds and wars to maintain a system that supports their wealth and dominance.

It's good to see that people are working to put our similarities at the fore. Of course, one doesn't have to create an international organization to foster peace. Peace will come about when we begin to search ourselves and earn self respect. Respect for women, respect for the environment and respect for the power of economics all must be based on a fundamental respect for ourselves. We break the world up into 'us' and 'them' but never really understand what makes 'them' so fundamentally different and abhorrent as to place them in a separate category from 'us'. The things we dislike about 'them' are the very things we dislike about ourselves. Instead of recognizing and addressing our own shortcomings, we project the things we dislike about ourselves onto others. When we do battle with others, we are able to take on our own demons while deluding ourselves into thinking our personal integrity remains intact. When we make war with others, we are at war with ourselves. When we are attacked, the attackers are attacking themselves. All of this philosophy would be fine, except that the consequences of attacking others and making war are not abstract. The consequences are lost lives, lost progress and lost opporunity. We cannot respect ourselves while inflicting these consequences upon our society. OK, parismarashi, now you've caused me to get all preachy. Hopefully you will continue the thought provoking work, and hopefully people will continue to respond with their thoughts.

It is becoming more and more clear that it is through people who are taking committed action towards shifting the way our society functions that we'll be able to continue living as a race and on this planet. Since the media never reports about the wonderful shifts that are taking place, it is through word of mouth and articles as the one you've written that we can learn about the differences that are being made everyday. Thanks very much for educating us. p. Thanks for the article.
