Held within the prophecy of living in
interesting times is the reality that such times are not easy, are
filled with drama and of course excitement. At this moment we are
living in very interesting times. As we live through these moments we
seek answers, solutions, reasons, causes and meaning. During such a
moment a question came to mind concerning the law of physics that
states – for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The question is - what is the equal reaction of peace to the
destruction of war?
What is the peace equivalent of a
missle strike, a mass shooting or a car bombing? How do we let off a
peace bomb? What act of peace rivals what is taking place in Syria?
These are the thoughts that must be explored in order to bring the
world into peace. From these thoughts there must be action. Also, we
must take into consideration that hatred is fueled by love. This is
the ironic reality in which we struggle to understand hyprocritical
action. When irony meets hypocrisy, the collision results in the
birth of insanity, violence, frustration, stupidity and we experience
the torment of hell. Sadly such a reality is often self inflicted and
self perpetuated.
We need to know our own minds first –
totally to be at complete peace. If the equation of equal reactions
stands up to truth then where are the opposites of Daesh? Where are
the peace bombs going off to rival the car bombs, missle strikes,
mass shootings, and where are the peace camps that rival refugee
camps? In some realm of thought a refugee camp is a peace camp –
perhaps?
At this point, the mental capacity to
carry on such a thought exercise has produced a deep sorrow for those
who are suffering the brutality of war. Hopefully those who battle an
internal war such as an illness or an external war, will find peace.
