RE: Activist Toolkit: Practical Peacemaking Series

in #peace7 years ago

Mother Theresa was once declined to march in an anti-war demonstration. When chided for her absence, she responded that if it had been a demonstration FOR PEACE, she would have been in the front lines. There is much we can each do to promote a peaceful world. I've heard it debated for decades now, "Why do we have a Department of War and not a Department of Peace?" Rather than answer that question, why don't we move from what is 'bottom line' profitable as a goal to what is sustainable in all our relations? This post sounds like you're headed in that direction. Bravo!

Yes I have heard that story before. It's very fitting. We can't solve problems using the same thinking that got us there in the first place, likewise feeding war or even "opposing" war only feeds the energy of war.

why don't we move from what is 'bottom line' profitable as a goal to what is sustainable in all our relations?

Yes! This is a great place to move from! Thanks for your thoughtful comment <3
