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.
