Peace, the Ultimate Human Frontier
When my paradigm is shifting into the unknown, I've found it helps to have some vague idea of where I'm going and how to get there.
And we're going into the unknown, unless we keep this increasingly unworkable divided and divisive paradigm going.
I've found these seed ideas to find our way and grow a better paradigm helpful.
Both genders have reasons for the divisions and divisiveness between them...that conversation could be endless. The hurt and anger of separation runs deeply.
Is it a better use of energy/time to start from HERE with the question "What do you need NOW as a man or NOW as a woman?" (and if you feel a thread of anger with this proposal, it is an opportunity to realize how invested you are in continuing the battle. There are ways to heal and ultimately forgive the wounds of the past.)
Imagine if our talents and skills innate with our differences of gender could work together.
Peace Begins with Enough for ALL.
Wish to change the world? It boils down to a choice...
- Accept war as our nature (which ultimately brings the experience of killing other people and/or of being wounded or killed yourself) ... or
- Vigorously, passionately and doggedly question and deny the belief that 'there is not enough for all and therefore we have to compete to survive.'
Your choice is the key to changing...everything.
Peace Begins with Enough for All
FOOD, WATER, SHELTER, HEALTHCARE & EDUCATION
The times of crisis are the times of greatest opportunity...so let's dream of impossibly positive futures...anything can change...for the better.

Isn't it time to choose who we are going to be....rather than run on automatic?
Can we be free if we're not safe?
Can we be safe & secure if others around us aren't?
When we care for the safety & security of all, we set ourselves free.
~ a paradox for the times
LIFE = having enough FOOD, WATER & SHELTER to survive. Safety.
LIBERTY = the freedom to be who we each uniquely are amount us all. Security.
The PURSUIT of HAPPINESS starts with all having Safty & Security = the beginning foundation of an advanced civilization.
Do we have to re-set all the way back to a question of LIFE and a question of survival of our humanity?....or can we use these times of great change to springboard forward to become an advanced civilization so we all can pursue happiness?
Can we call ourselves an advanced civilization if we do not see that all have enough Food, Water and Shelter to survive and provide basic Healthcare and Education so that ALL can thrive?
Peace Begins with Enough for All.
Food, Water, shelter, Healthcare & Education = Safety & Security
It is not rocket science.
When angry & frustrated because the Rules are no longer working and the Roles no longer fit...FAIRNESS is a workable replacement for Rules & Roles. Fairness fits any situation and stands the test of time.
We all know what is fair, (whether we act on it or not), which is why earthly humanity can become an advanced civilization...a civilization that measures how the least of us is doing, not the best.
Fairness is the compass that guides us home.
...and is a cool antidote for the heat of an angry moment.
Stand Up for All

What is peace? Absence of war, right or wrong?
So to pursue peace is to resist war....
I think the best peace one can get, is the peace that comes from above, the peace of God, which passes all human understanding...
Such peace that even in the midst of turmoil and war, it doesnt go away, but keeps us above all negativity always.

Absence of war is a good start on the road to peace. Can't focus much beyond survival if someone is throwing rocks at you and you at them.
I'm going to start wearing a hat that says "Define Peace" just to get us thinking about it, generate some energy and maybe we can find our way to create it.
For me it is an emotional state that starts with feeling safe and secure.
Thank you for your comment.
