A Culture of Peace or a Culture of Violence?
Do we pull together or pull apart?
We live on a unique and exquisite planet that has a complex system of interconnections and interdependencies that work in harmony to maintain balance or homeostasis so that all species survive. The essence of this system is cooperation for the optimal function of the whole. Nature has been perfected over 3.5 对 4 billion years and we are part of nature. So if peace is viewed as balance, harmony and cooperation, it has always existed. In moments each of us have known the experience. Otherwise we end up in a tug-o-war of win/lose.
Human civilisation is on a journey of self discovery. Humans are faced with challenges of economic crisis, ecological collapse and violent conflicts. We find ourselves at the precipice of old paradigms that have emerged out of fears and self interest. We are at the beginning of a new paradigm where we will be making decisions about the future of our world. Are we able to learn to resolve our conflicts peacefully and create a future based on mutual respect and shared stewardship of our planet? In reality we are naturally peaceful, 该 Seville Statement on Violence asserts this clearly.
The United Nations Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World (2001-2010) was implemented to protect children from violence. The aim of the decade is to:
“transformation from a culture of war and violence to a culture of peace and non-violence”
Children from all walks of life across the world will inherit complex and difficult challenges in the future such as:
- environmental depletion and destruction, world governance power and control issues, nuclear weapons, war and terrorism, disease, AIDS and HIV, social displacement, family breakdown, psychological disorders, violent resolution of disputes, unfulfilment and a sense of meaninglessness in their lives.
The UN Culture of Peace consists of:
“values, 反映和激发的基础上自由原则的社会互动和分享的态度和行为, 正义与民主, 所有人权, 容忍和团结, that reject violence and endeavour to prevent conflicts by tackling their root causes to solve problems through dialogue and negotiation that guarantee the full exercise of all rights and the means to participate fully in the development process of their society.”
Resolution (A/53/243) adopted by the General Assembly in 1999 advocates Action for a Culture of Peace:
8 programs:
- Education
- Equality
- 民主
- Sustainability
- Human rights
- Understanding/tolerance/solidarity
- Free flow of information and knowledge
- International peace and security
这一愿景是崇高的，但有证据表明联合国参与了危害人类罪. 他们被工业界和强大的利益集团拉拢，这些利益集团被允许为这个机构提供资金，从而腐蚀了原来的机构。 “和平” 创始人设定的目的. 在刑事指控得到解决之前，Worldpeacefull 将暂停对联合国的支持.
A Culture of Peace reflects the global vision, the realisation of such a vision will occur locally and indeed, personally. The issue of inner peace refers to peace within the thought processes of each person. 这个想法与问题相关 “世界是自我的反映吗？”? 或 “我们在世界上看到的东西是我们所相信和看到的东西的反映 (共同创造)?’.
如果我们相信世界是一个暴力的地方，并且我们选择看到的东西也证实了这一点, 媒体放大了“负面”’ 作为一个恰当的例子. If we believe the world is a peaceful place, 然后我们寻找好的一面并表现出“积极的一面”. 我们所想的就会带来什么?
To live in reality both points of view require the question, ‘how do we know it is true?’. The Work by Byron Katie is a process of inquiry for those suffering in conflict or confusion. 简单的四个问题方法和转身问题使人们能够质疑他们的信念和对世界的预测. 她断言 和平是我们自然的存在状态 当我们诚实地质疑我们的消极信念时，我们会发现冲突消失了，结果就是和平.
There is a wise saying ‘what you resist persists, what you look at disappears‘. This is the true meaning of conflict resolution. The result is no conflict.
我在曼谷扶轮社学习和平与冲突研究时发现了这工作. 我一直在寻找一个能够改变和平的人物. 我认识到和平并不需要通过 外部斗争，但当每个人都有责任解决问题时，这种斗争是有效的 “内心的战争” 我们都通过消极创造, cynicism and judgement. When we become clear and open minded, 我们将开始看到没有我们计划的故事的现实.
As Gandhi says “to be the change we wish to see in the world”.
As a clown I genuinely see beauty in every person. My world view is summed up by my poem ‘The Gift’. 这是我送给你的礼物.
THE GIFT
My highest wish is happiness,
It is the gift I give to all,
To see the smiling faces,
To catch them before they fall.
要成为一个小丑,
就像是环绕声,
它传播的一缕阳光,
向所有不受歧视,
没有急躁,
看世界为一体,
为了激励，并有一些乐趣.
I have no enemies,
I have no-one to hate,
To me there is no nation state,
I see the world as my family,
I just want to bring them home,
Into the warmth of love and kindness,
So no-one feels alone.
I see every story,
In its real glory,
I know the potential of what can be,
I long to set them free,
Into a world of their own making,
Into a world that is no longer breaking into fragments of glass,
Shards of misunderstanding,
Where we see only a fraction of what is true,
We assume that it is not safe,
That is the myth,
That is the spin,
That disempowers and tries to win.
One truth is that life begins,
When we step out of the comfort zone,
The boundaries of insecurity build walls,
We are not alone,
And when we step out of illusion,
Of misconceptions,
We realize that there is no fear,
That there are many tears,
That are flowing down the rivers of separation,
But they will reach the headwater,
They will unite in the end,
The journey is the experience,
That life sends.
I believe in peace,
I believe in goodness,
I believe in action,
I know that for every cause there is an equal and opposite reaction.
My life is dedicated to principle,
I know the answers are simple,
When you throw away judgment,
When you throw away hurt,
When you throw away hate,
And think about what you’ve learned.
Under the canopy of respect,
You will never reject,
The will of others,
They must travel their own path,
We need to learn to laugh,
Life is the comedy,
Perhaps I am the fool,
But just maybe,
That’s the school for world peace.
Peace is a joyful experience and each of us can contribute to a happier and peaceful world. When we focus on peace, we see it then live it by example.
