“Peace comes about through the changes of our perspective of
the worldview.”
Peace. It’s such a lovely ideal. I used to dream of a word
in which peace was more common than war. I suppose I still do, but my mind no
longer entertains the idea like it used to.
My perspective of peace changed a bit recently. When I was
younger, I thought of peace on global terms, as if that was the only thing that
mattered. World peace; it’s a little naive, and a lot impossible. There will always
be someone who wants more, and that desire for more will escalate to ridiculous
levels if people allow it to.
But peace can exist. Peace can exist within families and
neighbors, community groups and local clubs. Through this peace, we learn
acceptance, love, and respect for those around us. This mutual respect will
breed a desire to help in whatever ways we are able, which will lead to cooperation,
which leads to peace.
It’s too late for me to have deeper thoughts than this at
the moment.
Blessed be.
