     Just as John Lennon sang so many years ago, it is time to give peace a chance. With the warring going on in the Middle East, it seems that we are on a never-ending ride where killing is the norm and we, the observers, sit on the sidelines and pick sides as if there is justification for any side to murder people.

     The other side to being an oberver is that we feel helpless. We think that there is nothing we can do by ourselves and so we do nothing.

     Actually, peace starts with our being totally committed to finding peace within us and accepting those around us. It begins by learning to love and accept ourselves, thereby eradicating our judgmental and prejudicial feelings and by learning to accept and love ourselves and finding out why we could possibly hate ourselves.  If we stop hating ourselves, we stop hating others.

     When you think about why wars begin, it is usually over someone being the aggressor. Being an aggressor is like being a bully. We have lots of psychological profiling on what creates bullies and usually it is because they are filled with self hatred and they pass that hatred on to others in the form of rage and violence. Everything that can be understood on a personal level can be extrapolated to the world. After all, the world community is made up of human beings. So the bullies of the world pick on those they perceive are weaklings.

     There is a testing of boundaries.  How does the perceived weaker country react? This continues until there is an all out war and just as in the school yard, when the bully is picking on the weaker kid, there are observers and passers-by. Nobody really wants to get involved as everyone is afraid of the bully.

     Finally, someone who is not afraid to stand up for himself takes on the bully by showing him that there is a better way and works to help the bully to develop self-esteem and self-love. This stops the cycle of violence.

     It is true that it seems over-whelming on a world-wide scale. There is so much posturing, and the politicians have so far proved inept at dealing with the violence. Again if we bring this down to the level of the individual, the politicians represent parental authority to the squabbling kids. A good parent is one who will break up the fight and have the kids shake hands and learn  to be friends. Can you imagine a parent who actually gives the kids guns and tells them to go and shoot it out? Yet we accept that globally. Maybe it is time that we became the parents and told our politicians that they should grow up and learn to love themselves
