After witnessing all the stages the world has gone through with this most recent war, I am more convinced than I’ve ever been, that the only way to facilitate change on the planet as a whole is to influence one person at a time. And the first person is me!
Each of us must simply deal with war and peace within our own heart. In this way, peace will always prevail for none of us wants to be at war with ourselves.
We all can do with beginning the conversation now—about what is really important to us. Once we know, once we are convinced, then it is easy to follow our bliss.
Every time I am engaged in a discussion of politics these days I seem to end up with a headache. That is because the solution to what works for societies, for cultures, for countries, is so complex there is no simple answer.
As complicated as I am—as just one of the billions of human beings on this earth—it is no easy matter just to find out what is good for me alone. When I do, when I know that, I will tell you and then you can see if what I have found works for you too. This is as complicated as I want to get right now.
