PEACE, ANYONE?
Have we driven our world to a hopeless maelstrom of violence?In my lifetime, I am sure this year seems to be the worst when it comes to peace. It appears like the whole world has gone Gung-ho and that brutalities, killing, rapes, and all forms of violence has dominated our world.
I was reading the front page today and one prominent political writer suggested that the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, should be given to NOBODY this year. A very fitting tribute to a world gone mad.
I do beg to disagree, for one, Malala Yousafzai, the remarkable woman who is responsible in fighting for educational development of women in Pakistan, deserves to be recognized.
Second I believe, with the exception of a very few citizens HERE AT CS: BLOGGERS, WRITERS, AND READERS ARE PEACE STALWARTS AND ADVOCATES, don't you think?
Question: Any suggestions to cultivate world peace and unity?
Thanks all for your reads and comments.
Have a peaceful, sunny day. Absolutely gorgeous in Minnesota today.
Note: I just woke up and read the news and in fact Malala took the prize. We have hope after all.

Am I expecting too much?
Those towers weighed approximately the same as TEN Nimitz Class super aircraft carriers.
Many at the time expressed wonder at the lack of rubble.

Fantastic? Absolutely!

Though the way things are going it may not be that far away....

The idiots acted too slow and still think that they can have total control..... They should put everyone into quarantine camps if the leave Africa, in fact they should have started doing that months ago....

Thanks Hans.

Apart from Africa we have already had one in the US (Texas), Brazil, Australia (Cairns)... and somewhere else that I can't recall..... The cat's out of the bag....

The man, Thomas Duncan who had Ebola, from Liberia, Africa, died 2 days ago in a Houston or Dallas hospital. Where is the leadership in this country when they don't recognize a serious threat to the American people and the rest of the world. One of the police officer who visited Duncan's apt and came in contact with his family supposedly has contracted ebola. Where is this all going to end?
Someone told me that some version of the "takeover scenario" was reported on by Public Radio.
If you can't trust Public Radio, who can you trust?
It's all just part of being like that frog in the pot of water that is slowly brought to a boil...According to some.
I watched the WTC go up. Worked there too back in the 70s. Still feels really weird to come up I-95 and not see them standing there from 60 miles away.
NO of course that incident wasn't the end of it. Just the first heavy punch to the back of the head of the big guy who wasn't looking. Every day folks write their Congressmen, the White House and their Senators demanding to know why we don't just turn that whole area to a sea of melted glass to prevent the next strike? LoL, probably too late now, even if a rad free Gamma Ray burst was somehow available for use.
Do I forsee peace, with more and more starving children being born every day, but only finite resources available for the dividing? Of course not. What I see is the dawning of the Zombie Apocalypse. That or ET will bore of watching our channels and give the whole planet a taste of Gamma Rays (again).
There ya have it. Problems solved!
So can we trust them?
I don't know anymore Mic.
It ain't amusin'...
It's confusin'!
Gotta hand it to ya, Lind. You have a real knack for "hot button" blogs!
"IT'S ONE'S ADVOCATE TO TREAT PEOPLE JUST AND DISADVANTAGE TO BE UNJUST."
"GIVEN GOOD TO YOUR FRIENDS WHILE BAD TO YOUR ENEMIES. "
"JUSTICE IS GIVEN WHAT IS OWED."
All of these are very much debatable, though as to its application and implications today.
then I went back to the books War and Peace to cap it off
The Art of War.
Before we go along with public opinion and spin doctors should we not ask ourselves what is the root of this war ??
Can we find a way to make Peace?
Last, the supereme art of war is to
subdue the enemy without fighting.....Sun Tzu.
