peace paths into the future

I wrote a post back in 2012 titled Strenth to Resolve Matters Peacefully. In that post I reffered to people who bring up past injustices as "stacking bodies". In the past few years I have also reffered to people that bring up past injustices as being involved in the "pain olympics". Such people will always try to make the point that thier pain/experiences are the worst or at least more than others. What is missing is that all human history includes each and very one of us. To be a peaceful person, it is needed to understand that all of human existence belongs to each of us. If it happens to you it happened to humanity. This understanding is basically rooted in the thought that we are all together in this. However, there are those that will fight to cling to the belief that they are speacial, different, and/or deserve special recognition. In all peacefullness - such thought destroys peace. So when you come up against such a person you will know immediately they are not interested in peace if they are interested in getting their own way for their own self power at the expense of others, no matter how much pain others endure. Now, each and every person will have their own experience and never again will anyone else have that experience. This is how we get to a point where the "pain olympics" begins. There are some truely horrific situations people have gone through and their story is held up as extraordinary. Luckily we have the ability to empathize. Such ability does not diminish the personal experience yet it does allow for a shared experience. In the pursuits of peace, the shared experience teaches us how to heal, learn, grow, and change. That shared experience needs to be held as a teaching point for future generations. What is should not be is a leverage point to access greater entitlements than anyone else for the rest of time. Doing so is the root causes of racism, hatred, segregation, slavery and the destruction of society and the individual. None of this is easy to do as it will seem counter to emotions and thoughts that arise when horrific events take place. Such is the need to see the peace path into the future. If at any point your thoughts are "If I kill this person all my troubles are over", you are heading into the realm of insanity and engaged in "pain olympics". Now if you have read any of my past submittions you will know that I believe the world is always fifty percent insane. With that, at least half of the population will always belive the answer to peace is to kill others, at some point.

comfort in chaos

Each of us has wondered what the history books/education will be like a thousand years from now. We also most likely have all wondered if we will survive the next one hundred? There are a few rabbit holes that speak to how the future will look back at us. As of right now, things are a bit wild, no doubt of that. However, an oath of peace "to save future generations from the scourge of war" is the foundation of a common goal for the world. Tough times indeed for progress to meet that oath/goal. There are many thoughts of what is to transpire. I do hope the oath of peace holds enough credibility to halt the scourage of war. As for now it is being comfortable in the chaos by finding a way in peace.

Thoughts of the day 02 May 2026

Corruption Management. That term flashes through my thoughts at least once a week. Usually it is a 20 to 30 minute thought concept. I figured Corruption without betrayal needs some thought. Corruption without betrayal is trust perhaps? Maybe, however, the betrayal of humanity is by far the worst part of corruption. We all know of organized groups that have their own code of being and such groups will always exist in some manner. There are arseholes all through history and there are many more on the way.The focus to combat corruption is the moment a person encounters the decission to act in betrayal of humanity. Using the Universal Declaration on Human Rights is to be basis of humanity. At the core of human rights is peace which requires the understanding of betrayal. Betrayal exists, we are not getting rid of it, howver we can control it. Obviously this becomes a very individualistic task. At that level each person manages their involvement in acts of betrayal/corruption. Thus corruption management.

Thoughts of the day.

I remember presenting the book "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawlking in highschool. I recall one point from that presentation and it is "This book helps to understand comfort in chaos". That point flashed in my mind today and of course thinking of that presentation. Comfort in chaos. What is the path to peace today? As per my philosophy, I am looking as though Canada is an idividual standing in a room with only the orginal United Nations Charter members. "All I got is an oath of peace that has been beat to shit as a defense". However, as written in the two hundred year plan, I see a path to peace. Plus the peace architure and city planning of constructing arears that will experience growth to approximately 50 000 capacity population. At base level, this plan is based on a two hundred year peace operations from handshakes and then next two hundred years. Getting the handshakes to allow the operation is priority. That is a challenge for sure. At current speed probably years away but hurry up and wait. Again, the oath of peace deserves another chance so with all the adrenallin of on ice hockey/ refs sometimes, get in there and break up the fight. There are many descriptors/analogies of how to get the handshakes. And at this point all I can say about time line - hopefully damm quick. But then again, I got two hundreds years and I give all I have to see a path for peace. I honestly think this plan is a damm good solution to bring peace to this world. I remember that day in highschool understanding order within chaos. Ever since then, I have been understanding that peace offers a path through chaos, am I comfortable with the plan for peace. It provides certainty for years to go through chaos. All of that, is about That is what peace is about for me right now.

Why war over peace?

The past number of days have been spent in contemplation of the worlds current situation, somewhat like Viktor Frankls' thoughts of "existing in the hope of peace". In such moments it is also necessary to understand Focaults' thought that "it is necessary to challenge the forces that discipline us". With those two thoughts I have leaned into the African ideology of Ubuntu, acceptance of the here and now as we seek kindness, forgiveness, connection and to see oursleves in others. With all of that, understanding peace does not negate war but it will bring strategies to manage if not lower the suffering that war brings. So why peace? Well, in my view, at the root of every act is the will to bring peace to a person world world. As we endure the insanity of war, we are trouble by the cost increases. The ironic part is that money will never buy peace but it certainly does supply war. So here we are, existing in the hope of peace yet disconnecting the world through war as we challeng the forces that discipline us. Insanity all around as we hope for one thing yet act in complete opposite ways. In the study of peace there is a focus on criminality. In that focus it is often pointed out the no matter what the punsihment is, there will be those that will act out violently and commit crimes. In that view, war is not a deterant. What is a path that accomplishes the same result is existing in the hope of peace and challenging forces that discipline us through the ideology of ubuntu. When society experience a disconnect, when people feel they are not cared for, or pushed aside, the response will lead to violent outbursts. Those outburst will come from those who can not live peacefully within their own life/mind. This is why peace is an absolutely personal challenge. It starts in everyone own mind first. When the individual collapses into insanity, if not managed with humilty and care, that person will act out violently. This is how we got to where we are today. It must be understood that peace does not bring an end to war but it will bring us greater methods to manage those outburst of violence and acts of insanity. Further to the managing insanity, there is the understanding that overall, there is the ability to walk around your area of existence with a good understanding that you will get to where you are going. That is what Victor Frankl describes as existing in the hope of peace. Even though he lived through a concentration camp his mind/thoughts were of peace. Not everyone will engage in that capacity but most of us do - even in the hellish conditions of war. That is why peace is not the annhilation of war, it is a broader understanding than the reality of what is taking place at this vey moment. On a more mundane level, you will still hit your finger with a hammer on a very cold day when building, you will still catch you foot on the step and tumble with an arm load of stuff, you will still find the eggshell in the scrambled eggs and you will still get snarled up in traffic. These are events which go on no matter what. What does change is the manner in which you understand your options.

a few of my thoughts today

The world today, 07 March 2026. I remember the day I went to undestand peace.I was five years old. The staff at the library brought me to the philosophy section saying ,"if you are to find any discussion on peace these books can help". From that day on, it has been an experiment of peace. Such as the insanity of actions involved when the need for mass graves increases. in the balance of peace, I am wondering, what is a path for peace in the world. From my experience, The work of peace is often too difficult for some. Those that fail, resort to violence of every form. However, it must be understood that anger, hate, violence starts in your mind first. Also no matter who you are or title you have, peace needs action. On a global stage, to make things easy, I have always viewed each country as an idividual. Now, after World War II, an oath of peace was sworn amungst the founding members of the United Nations.( https://research.un.org/en/unmembers/founders ). Those fifty one Individuals have broken the oath many times before and it has became acceptable to do so. Our current reality has seen that oath of peace being tested in more ways today. Being comfortable in such situations is paramount. These are the hard edges of peace. keep your balance. One idea I have been thinking of is how to build cities designed to hold 50 000 based on peace through architecture and city planing. I see large buildings that weave along the general landscape of parks, markets, transportation lines, and of course everyday life. It is fun to think about. I often wonder what such a city would become ussing such a view point. This wonder has been rattling for a few years and has had many focuses. Building such a city for any number of services such as immigration, rehabilitation, education, the list goes on and evolves constantly. I wonder what one would look like and live in? Try building one through stages or all at once. That has been a few of my thoughts today.

The long view of peace

Half of this world is insane, best keep your balance. That is a popular saying I heard weekly for at least twenty years. It was said when talking about personal problems, global problems, and getting through the everyday headshaking moments. What helped in such moments was to have a long view of peace.
