The way to peace is in having compassion for all of mankind.
It is expressed as being loving and forgiving and in offering a helping hand to those in need. It shown in our benevolence and in our generosity of spirit.
Or, we can continue to conduct ourselves from fear, which we express through acts of violence, threats, demands and the determination to do what has never succeeded, control the behavior of others, who otherwise refuse to conform to our ideas.
This expression of fear has taken the form of a "War on Terror," and we conduct ourselves with violence, striking at the hearts of our brethren, in an endless war that may ultimately cost us that which we hold dear, our freedom.
We now spy on everyone, friend and foe alike, citizen and non-citizen, all in a foundation built on mistrust, fooling ourselves to think mistrust can ever lead to peace.
The choice is simple: continue this madness until we have destroyed that which we hold dear or striving to act with benevolence and generosity of spirit to unite with our brethren in search of peace.
