DESIGNING A LASTING PEACE.
Knowing that every time of peace in human
history ended in a war, what should "Peace on Earth" look like, so
it would not result in a war again?
Unless we can answer this question, and unless we can unify
and harmonize all the eventual answers in order to
prevent any discrepancies in the answers to cause strife in real
life all over again, we can never achieve real "Peace on
Earth".
We should learn how to imagine, in as much detail as possible, what
would constitute a real "Peace on Earth", and then, since we each
have different concepts of the idea, we should learn how to
constructively reconcile all the differences in a model (or any
other expedient way, e. g. in "gedanken experiments", meditations,
"think tanks", etc.) in order to arrive at a unified design
of "Peace on Earth", because the Earth can possibly have only one
future.
Unifying of all the different ideas that we might have about the
future of the Earth in a model would prevent conflicts from
happening in real life, since, after all, wars happen because
people go to war so that Peace happens their way.
The idea of modeling the future of the Earth is presented in more
detail at "Universal Platform
for Developing Sustainable Earth Vision Co-operatively: Global
Citizens Envisioning the Future Together".
MEDITATION:
Find, or imagine that there is, a mental space in which all the
ideas of what anyone might think that their future should look like
would be reconciled with each other, so that conflicts in real life
would be prevented from
occurring.
