Common sense of conflict

Two items of common speech that have always been a bit of a miss for me are common sense and the use of the word conflict. First, the phrase common sense. Often people twist the phrase and say that sense is not common. Well for me, I have always believed that sense is common, yet it is has become nonsensical. For example. Societies have always known that mass transit is a better investment than individual transportation. However, in the past number of decades more money has gone into individual transportation than mass transit. To the point where railway tracks were torn up and now that is being seen as a mistake - common sense? Next there is the use of the word conflict. Most times the word is understood as an uneasy communication, fight, argument etc... In reality, conflict is two or more things coming into contact with eachother. For example, a kiss is conflict, shaking hands is conflict, thought needs conflict and so does giving birth. The act that precedes brith is also an exercise in conflict. However common sense would have me believe that conflict should be avoided. Good luck with that because if there is no conflict there is no way any of us could be born. So much for common sense of conflict because the common meaning of conflict is nonsensical.

Perception vs reality/ theatrics over integrity

While in the process of studying peace, turmoil exists at all times. A calm, peaceful path does not obliterate horrible violence because we live in a world that has insanity. Reality is that most people live in a relative state of peace where they can go about their day to day work/needs with average effort. Now beaware of the insanity.Basically, what is theatrics and what is reality? Understanding will provide strength. The popular word of the last few years has been resiliency. Building resiliency/building strength is the same coin different sides. Doom scrolling is a thing, it impacts us yet some allow that impact to alter them. A person begins the process to follow/change. Before internet and phones there were books and flyers that spread information. Moreover, the newspaper has always been a tool for ownership to spread their own opinions and influence. In each sentence above there exists perception, theatrics, reality and integrity. What each of us thinks of the words, allows impact. Now what is done with that impact is a choice. In building peace, the foundation of choice starts with understanding that person who lives a great life using average effort into their day to day needs/work. The other half of that energy should be used to give thanks to all that helps provide peace to your life. Then insanity scrolls up. Peace is a constant, every second of your being attention. Nothing less will work for peace to exist.

The bully in your face

Being peacefull needs understandig that courage is needed to hold back all desires to act violently while standing ground. Many people experinece such places where peace is further away than hell.Standing ground peacefully means walking into hell without a weapon - other than your own self. Your own self and peace. A single person can be at peace and when shared provides magical moments. A group of friends that share responsibility and values are a coalition of force the world needs. Such a step was attempted in 2000 with SHIRBRIG. That force is needed today with one change. Not a stop gap force but a force that manages and patrols demilitarized zones. Three such areas are Ukraine, Palestine and DRC. https://www.unwatch.com/shirbrig.shtml
