Oh so true the answer to so many things is to stop war. We as a supposedly 'civilized society' should demand the war and the violence to stop. But how do we promote peace and love and fellowship to all people, when we live in such a violent society? We have lived through 'extremes of violence', the war, 911, even locally through sporting events, such as our own NBA. From very young ages, we receive violence education every day through media. It wreaks havoc in the lives of all, starting at vey young ages. We must follow the paths of non-violence, through the teachings of Dr. King, and more recently Dr.H. We must learn, that we have the ability to make conscious choices to love, to practice forgiveness and to let go of judgement of others. I believe our true nature to be one of loving kindness. What dilutes it is fear. When we work through our fears and help others to do the same, we automatically return to our natural state of Love, in which we are more able to demonstrate nonviolent peaceful solutions to conflict.
