talk about peace is perhaps the most important issue today. The progress of humanity should not be measured in terms of scientific and technological nothing else. A human race, Homo Sapiens scientifically, "wise man" in English, it took millions of years, estimated at some four million or so to get where it is today.
And where is he? Well, we can say that some time has consolidated its dominance of the planet. The human race has no rival in the control of land, which in biblical terms is defined as the divine mandate to dispose of the land and animals for their benefit.
Much water has passed under the bridges in the process of hegemonic consolidation of humanity. The process has done much harm. There are nearly 16,000 species threatened with extinction worldwide, and global warming has caused havoc.
But humanity's greatest harm has been caused by conflicts and wars that have consistently affected the human race.
In fact we can say that the history of mankind is the story of their wars. In the First World War dead is estimated nearly 20 million, and the second world war is estimated at more than 60 million.
Besides all this, social conflicts and wars are red hot. All this raises the question of peace or the lack of peace, the other side of the coin.
Since the crime of Cain and Abel, men have been attacked mercilessly.
Come to the heart of the problem: The violence is because people have something they have and want to defend, something they want and do not have or something they had and lost. That is, it all boils down to an ego attachment to something that you do not.
During the 11 and 12 centuries, mankind saw a series of wars called the Crusades between Christians and Muslims in which Christian armies moved to the Holy Land to try to recover and that the dominating critianos.
Muslims disagreed and checked long wars of conquest and re-conquest.
turns out that those wars are still ongoing and much of what we see today in Iraq and Afghanistan is limited to this conflict with the interest apropiuarse of oil that exists in the land, leading to the powers involved to want to impose. Have killed thousands of innocent men, women and children in these conflicts and can not see any end in tragedy.
Then see what are the remedies. Peace must begin in each, as an individual. We can not wait for the neighbor begins. Must start with me. Someone has to bury the hatchet first. That is the message of Christ. "Love thy neighbor," said the teacher.
We need to introduce peace and rule of life in our families, neighborhoods, schools and neighborhoods. Everyone must do so individually.
Our mind is like a computer in the sense that it is scheduled. It's like a hard disk that is programmed and deprogrammed. The configuration may change worsen, or remain stable up to us.
The difference is that no one program, we project alone. ERsto means we have to deprogram violence and aggression and reprogram in the sense of peace and harmony.
We must dismantle the above trends to consider that someone wants to remove what I have, or I want something that another has. That gives opening to the conflict.
We are promoting the Partnership for Peace, an organization aimed at preparing a group of Peace Monitors, young people are the community spokespersons and promote the alliance, in turn, the values \u200b\u200bof peace and harmony in their families and communities.
We have a motto that will leave you with you:
IF YOU WANT TO PROMOTE PEACE, PROTECT THE CREATION
