The Way To Peace

Why do we think that we can achieve peace by starting wars? This always comes to mind when an existing conflict is escalated into a full-blown war by the intervention of other countries in the name of peace.

The innocent men, women and children caught up in the crossfire between rival factions are the ones needing our help. Missile attacks in an effort to knock out one or other of these factions won’t work.

All that will happen is an escalation of the violence and those poor innocents in the middle are the ones who will come off worse. We all know from previous conflicts what happens when so-called targeted attacks go off target . Yes the innocent ones are the ones who pay with their lives.

Peace can only be achieved when everyone in the world loves each other. To do this we have to first love ourselves and when we love ourselves we will find it easy and natural to love everyone else.

The only way to peace is love.
