Stop violence, Release Peace

September 22, 2008, 8:59 am

We are living a world full of violence, and the question that could arise to our heads is:
Why are we living in conflict?

If you want to answer this,
keep on reading:
Do I really want to end violence or it is just a faraway ideal?

If answer is yes,
keep reading:
Am I willing to change myself?

If answer is yes,
keep reading:
Do I act violent against someone else?

If answer is yes,
keep reading:
Why am I violent?

It feels a lot easier to talk about peace than to act on it.

It feels a lot easier to expect peace to come from the outside, instead of having to deal with the responsability of inner peace.

It feels a lot easier to let ourselves do whatever our mind brings up, instead of questioning the reasons the mind brings those ideas to our heads.

For example:

  • Have you noticed how anger is related to sadness?
  • Have you noticed how you loose control when you get angry?
  • Have you been able to stop agression when your mind is in "rage mode"?
  • Have you ever taken some time to analyze what kind of thoughts you have through the day?

So, it really seems a lot easier to talk about peace, and expect it to come from the outside than from its true source: your inside. Is it?

anger

Yes, anger stems from frustration, indifference of one party being treated indifferently. It oftentimes leads deeper to misunderstanding if not confronted outright.

There can be peace if there is open communication, dealt with it diplomatically. If only youre dealing with a love one, it is a matter of  weighing matters ,how important  the person is to you and how handle the situation and appease the other party. Show love,understanding and concern in order that it would make the other  person feel good, at ease and let matters die a natural  death.

Indeed,

Frustration is something I had not thought about. It so true sometimes one little thing not confronted properly, may become a bigger issue... In such a way, you may fragmentate the whole relationship.

To listen to others is to learn how to communicate, and then there is peace as you say: "There will be peace when there is open communication, and with diplomacy." (showing love from both parts)

But it is really tough... !!!! We become so selfish we don't listen, or speak properly... However, I believe that to become aware of this is the first step!

Thank you for commenting! I really appreciate it. It gave me great new ideas to think about!

My thoughts exactly. Why is there so much hate and anger? When will people learn that they've been doing it wrong since the beginning of time?
