War, fight, anger, sadness, disgust, horror and a lot of other factors are result of unmanaged and irrelevant starting points. What is our goal in life? I am thinking it is connection, it is growth, it is joy, it is love. What chance do we have in achieving these when we don’t even know how to start, when we don’t even know how to be, how to live and how to help.
When we are a child, what do we need more than anything else? We need a secure base. We need to know that no matter what we do, how we do it, mistakes that we make we have a secure base that we can go to and be safe. This gives us peace, this provides us with a starting point.
More than anything in our life we need to know that there are some basics that we can rely on, and also there are enough mechanisms in place so that we can benefit from these basics. Now the question is that how can have this basics, in my view we need to learn this basic, we need to understand it more than anything else. We need to learn that this basic is our right, we need to understand that this basic is in place to take care of us. This is on an individual level, however we also need to have right mechanism in place on societal and international level.
In regards to societal and international level, we need one thing to start us all, that one thing is trust. So how do we build trust between societies and nations? We need to educate ourselves, we need to learn, we need to be curious, we need to be empathetic and most importantly we need to start with peace in mind while having a dialogue.
At the very basic level we need to start to place importance on us as a community. We need to learn from each other, respect each other, and know that anything is possible when we share our resources and when we have a solid peace plan.
