World Affairs And Beyond

Peace, a concept that has eluded humanity throughout history, is often seen as an elusive goal that can only be achieved through external measures. We often look to governments, international organizations, and peace treaties to foster tranquillity on a global scale. While these efforts are undoubtedly important, they tend to overshadow a fundamental truth: peace must first begin within the individual. There can be no lasting peace in the world unless there is peace within each individual's heart and mind. The idea that inner peace is a prerequisite for external peace has deep roots in philosophy, religion, and spirituality. From the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi to the Dalai Lama, sages and leaders alike have emphasized the importance of inner harmony as a foundation for peace in the world. This insight reflects an essential truth about the human condition: external conflicts often stem from inner turmoil, and the peace that humanity yearns for externally can only be sustained if it

We are unfair to humanity. We love sad stories and tragedies. We sympathize with people who suffer, and we want them to keep on suffering. We enjoy their sufferings, and we want to be the ones to save them, or love to take credit for saving them, or we constantly feel the need to look for a saviour for those going through pain, and we love to blame people for not caring for the sufferings of humanity. We love to have someone to blame for something. That's what we love the most. If by mistake anyone finds a way out of their sufferings, or succeeds in helping themselves or those around them, we are most certainly not pleased with them. Oh we are not pleased with them at all. What are they thinking trying to stand on those two undeserving feet of their own? How dare they defy the rules of this society? They are evil. We were not even done with mourning their sufferings, tragedies and losses yet? How dare they rise up and fight back? They do not deserve our sympathy any more.
