True peace

Question from the Internet:

“What is peace good for?”

True peace does not mean the lack of war.

True peace — shalom in Hebrew from the expression shlemut, perfection — means conscious, positive, mutually responsible, and mutually complementing interconnections, cooperation above and against our inherently egoistic, self-serving, ruthlessly competitive, “warmongering” nature.

Our inherent nature cannot be suppressed, erased, our tendency to succeed, survive at the expense of others only grows. But we can learn and implement how to build and keep the crucially important, Nature-like, mutual integration above and against our instincts.

This consciously observed, witnessed sharp, ever-growing tension, the contrast between our inherent, instinctively negative, hateful inclination, and the acquired, Nature-like integration gives us a perfect, total, objective understanding, attainment of Nature’s perfect system, where myriads of extremely diverse, seemingly incompatible parts, elements interconnect, coordinate to create and sustain life.
