Learning peace above, instead imminent war

At present in the pursuit for peace we create war, as we don’t know yet that peace is not about defeating, convincing, overcoming others in order to prove our right.

Peace is about reaching a stable, sustainable, common agreement above and despite disagreements, vast differences, even hate that never disappears, even grows. But by finding a more important, overriding common goal, pursuit we can connect above the “dark abyss”.

Even in simple discussions, debates we can never convince each other as the saying goes, “you won an argument, you just made an enemy”. Our inherently self-justifying, proudly individualistic, competitive matter can never accept the humiliation of defeat.

Whenever one side conceded in a war in history, that was the moment they already started to plot their revenge. And even if the revenge never came, the frustration, dissent had been growing through centuries until today.

We can neither suppress nor erase our instinctive Human nature, as we can’t suppress, erase individual, national identity. We have already proved this also through history.

Thus the only option we have for peace is to learn how to build connections above and despite everything that rejects us from reach other, in the grounds of overriding, all-important common projects, goals.

At the moment - since we have evolved into a globally integrated, interdependent world this project, goal is our collective Human existence we cannot achieve without mutually responsible, mutually complementing cooperation.

Then when we managed to unite in order to steady the presently sinking common, global boat and start sailing towards a better, safer, sustainable future together, we will start to learn what other, much greater, qualitatively much higher advantages sustainable peace and mutual cooperation, existence can offer to us…
