A PLEA FOR PEACE

We’re understandably outraged - unfortunately that’s not going to get us what we want - which is peace.

Outrage fuels the very energy we wish to change. We need to use our outrage to emotionally desire peace.

Shifting to peace isn’t passive—it’s powerful. Peace starts within.

For me INNER Peace also relies heavily on being true to myself. #4 can be tricky as the need to relent to keep peace often forces me to bury my own thoughts & feelings to the point of becoming resentful to others. And I can't keep doing that anymore 😪

Angel, I agree on #4 - At times I still ignore my feelings and feel resentful (for sometimes years!) The way I often get round it is to think of the situation as not right or wrong but what works or doesn’t work - that lets you feel your emotions but helps to respond rationally. Sometimes! 🤗

Wise words. It's especially important at times like these we try to stay centred and not sucked into a spiral of negativity.

I hope if we can keep our focus on a good outcome it will help us stay positive. 😊

I believe you to be right on this. Much as my rage is immense, there is little to be achieved by letting loose the dogs of war on psychos. It IS an inner battle first of all to step through and out of fury. There ARE ways to deal with Trump. No trust required but herculean effort is essential.

What's that saying? Along the lines of "you can't fix a problem with the same energy that created it."

If you can imagine arguing fiercely with someone you love, and neither of you step out of that energy, it can lead to estrangement or resentment. However, someone has to get past the argument and aim towards reconciliation to heal. It only takes one person to change that energy.

If you can persist in the intention of a peaceful outcome, then that will have more power. Kier Starmer, UK PM did just that in the Trump/Zelensky spat. He refrained from focusing on the rights and wrongs of what happened, and his intention for peace drove his actions. Hope this makes sense!

Perfect sense, thank you!
