Why Prayers, Meditations, Wishes, and Any
Such Don't Help to Establish a Lasting Peace in the
World.
It is a safe
assumption that ever since humans started experiencing the horrors
of warfare, they also started to wish to live in peace that would
not end with a war again.
Humans in great numbers have been wishing, praying, meditating for
peace since time immemorial, but, so far, with no lasting results.
Why should this be so?
The answer might be that the very reason that wars always come back
is precisely because we do want to live in peace!--we don't
experience a lasting peace, because our ideas of what peace should
be differ from each other so greatly, that we go to war to settle
our differences again and over again.
A lasting world peace is possible, of course--it is within
human capabilities to effect this--but since our ideas of what such
a peace should look like are so diverse, we have to learn how to
resolve our differences peacefully, instead of ultimately choosing
war every time we feel the desire for peace.
This is what I feel should be done:
All of us who pray, meditate, wish, and etc., for a lasting peace
in the world have to get together one way or another, and come up
with one unified design of a world we would like to live in.
A design in which it would be possible to see how we all are to
live together in one world in as small detail as possible.
Differences that normally would get resolved in real life with
often damaging results would be resolved harmlessly in a model
during the process of hammering out of a design in which all of us
would find an optimal place in.
More on how this could be done is presented at ModelEarth
The idea on how to create a lasting Peace in the world is also
presented in a different form at: Designing a Lasting Peace.
