Will the world see peace is WE (a small percentage) just refrain from doing violence in OUR share of the space-time continuum?
During the 1960s and 1970s, faith communities that committed themselves to PEACE used terms from the Vietnam war (the War in Southeast Asia) and termed their buildings and communities 'a DMZ' - a demilitarized zone.
How effective are WE (by our not doing violence)?
How tempting it must be for those who want to have an impact to want to scale up their own use of power, rather than to back off. But 'escalation' of violence seems to make things much worse (or does it)? What is effective, and what did Mohandas K. Gandhi teach about Satyagraha? Is that morally and strategically TRUE, or is it not?
