Violence

[Starman]

Please do not turn this into a political discussion.

While I am at peace with myself, it is evident to me that there is a growing blaze of fire erupting in this world. Not only hotspots between nations; like Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Iran, China and Taiwan, North Korea, etc.

But also among common people; I was watching the news about the stabbings in Sydney. I view Australia as a relatively peaceful place where this sort of thing rarely, if ever, happens. But it seems the craziness has now spread there as well.

There is a lot of violence in America, most nations in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. Some might call it “evil” or the work of the devil. But what can the average common person do about the violence in this world?

On one hand I view it as possibly the darkness before the dawn. A more psychological perspective might be an extremely arrogant polarized perspective in people’s minds, or just mental health issues.

I feel like the world is on the brink of another major war, and the emerging conflict is between individual common people as well as between nations. Right now the world seems like an explosive powder cake and the fuse has already been set and lighted.

Still, I see the depth of beauty in life, the laughter and smiles in adults and children. The incredible wonderfulness of this creation in spite of the problems and conflicts which humanity has created. So what are your perspectives on the violence which we see in our world today?
