There is so much going on in the world, and it seems everyone is focusing on the negative, me included. It is easy to understand why, we are undated by the media with all the robbings, lynchings, rape, murder, wars, genocide, racism, fascism, threats of nuclear war, famine, disease, economic recession, doom and gloom on the horizon, freedom ending, global conspiracy; etc. Is the world coming to an end? I think not, and I still believe there is much beauty, virtue, benevolence, and love in both our world and throughout the universe. So why all the trouble? Why has and does mankind continue to turn against itself? It's easy to see the conflicts between different cultures and religions, and every situation is different with specifically different causes for all the pain and bloodshed. Yet the similarities run deep into the sole of humanity, as well as deep into the soul of each and every individual. I believe that people who excessively hate and commit violent acts upon those they're uncomfortable with, are uncomfortable with themselves. They hate the world because they hate themselves. It all starts from the inside, from attitude and a way of thinking which manifests into the nature of conduct, which in turn leaves in its wake the nature of action as the result of the nature of thought.Viewing the complexities and destructive behavior in the society of man, with all the considerations of historical events leading to the condition of modern society becoming more self-aware yet ironically more corrupt than ever, understanding all this is like looking through a cracked lens on a kaleidoscope; so many variations and distortions of patterns lost in the haze of following the path of least resistance. Religions versus religions, freedom versus oppression, good versus evil, evil versus evil, whatever. So many descriptions and labels to the various clashes of different individuals and cultures gives rise to all the self-inflicted spiritual wounds of mankind turning on itself; yet there is a very simple, two word solution. I have contemplated on this matter at great length and see the whole of humanity in the state of spiritual adolescence. Where it will lead is up to each and every individual in a conscious choice of becoming either more controlled and self-delusional, or more in control and aware of truth. So to all the violent chaos in the world there truly is a two word solution, one that I wish upon all wishes that I could resound as the phrase heard around the world:
Stop fighting.
