How can I want no war in the whole world, when I can't find peace with my closest person?? I thought to be pacifist includes making peace in private life too, but it's imposible! I can't control. I tell to myself, that I must keep peace all the time, but in difficult moments I just can't!.. Dear friends, I am in so melancholic mood because of this.. Criticizing Bush or someone like him is unhonestly of me! I couldn't find peace with my loveliest person, then how could he find peace with the enemy? I know, I see how war damages everything, even our greatest feelings.. it's horrible! Why can't I find the way?? Maybe you can help me somehow? Or maybe it is no problem and wanting peace includes only political peace?
true pacifism is not having no problems, there is a huggee difference between conflicting differences among people and destructive conflicts. pacifism is a belief that concerns itself in the resolution of problems in nonviolent methods, but it is not a belief that requires no problems at all. i would suggest to you that you try to settle the conflict in the most peaceful way, not insulting or fighting, but talking it through in unhurtful ways. the fact that you, like everyone else, can find difficulties with other people does not mean that there cannot be peace in your life, or anywhere for that matter. good luck man, dont worry about it.
Thank You for those words! You are of course right but I wish I didn't irritate so simply.. everyone have problems but not everyone can solve it quietly.
just take your problems step-by-step in the most peaceful way possible. Control your problems as peacful as possible. Think more into detail when trying to make your conflict with your most "closest person" better. Think of several different ways to control this and to make it better. There's always more than one answer to a problem. You just have to find it.
You all seem like angels! in critical moments, it's very difficult to think of love, patience and peace...
Thank you Yes, it is. But in the long run, it turns out better than anything negative you could of done.
Ursula, we always have to try to reason, not blindly fight. And this is true both for our private lifes and to polithics. Sometimes, in both situations, because there are people you just cann't reason with, war is unavoitable, but it should be the last resort. Problem with Bush is that when he attacked Iraq it wasn't the last resort, it was his goal all alone.
