Can politics bring Peace? … (03/19/08)

As far as world politics is concerned, I have no immediate solutions, and it is not my purpose to propose any …

Our egos are clever in their constant encouragements designed to keep us feeling hopeless and/or self-centered.  They would have us believe that we must stop war completely to effectuate Peace; that we must stop violence completely to effectuate Justice; that we must stop conflict completely in order to effectuate Love …

And yet, the Truth remains:  There are no ‘small’ deeds of Kindness!!!  Every selfless good deed creates a ripple of Power that flows outward and changes the entire Cosmos for the better — and it does so for all eternity …

So, the ‘key’ seems to be not in getting frustrated with politics, but rather in choosing to pause, discover some kind deed that can be readily done, and then to simply start engaging the same.

In short, our job is not to ‘save the world’, but simply to be as kind as possible in as many moments as possible — especially when least inclined to do so … This is the most effective way to effectuate World Peace.

“There is no way to Peace.  Peace is The Way.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
