The article discusses the pressing need for peace in a world marked by geopolitical uncertainty, escalating tensions, and societal polarization. It emphasizes that wars begin in the minds of individuals, fueled by fear and mistrust, rather than on battlefields. The author argues that core values such as non-violence and compassion are crucial for fostering dialogue and understanding. Instead of focusing solely on defense strategies, he advocates for integrating peace education and emotional resilience into societal frameworks, highlighting that nurturing these qualities can help create harmonious societies.
When sensitivity and sensibility are lost, dialogue fails, and divisions deepen. I often refer to war as the Worst Act of Reason—it reflects not just a failure of politics, but of human understanding.
Compassion is a dynamic source of strength which can give clarity to the mind and stability to our actions. In international forums, we often speak of peace and security in the same breath.
