become warriors of light
(Marcella Danon)
E 'urgent need to redefine the image and role of the pacifist.
bastamanifestare not to be against the war,
must learn to promote a culture of peace with
the strength and wisdom of an ancient samurai.
True peace does not give up the fight, not afraid of conflict,
believes in a better future and other possible ways of dealing
the inevitable problems of cohabitation and interaction that has always
afflict humanity.
is no longer time to wait for others to decide the fate of the world
, peace does not mean passivity, does not mean always
quiet. Pace is also
fortitude, inner strength, like that of the samurai,
that does not need to strike to succeed.
Peace is not absence of conflict but the ability to deal
the conflict with diplomacy, with wisdom, with empathy, not with weapons.
Peace can be built within itself and spread, as a way of life
around him.
commitment to peace means
assume a mature and balanced against not only of what is happening
in Iraq, but also about what happens in our little everyday life
.
It means learning to manage conflict creatively, without escape, without
respond automatically (aggression is often the answer
automatic), but compatible with any situation.
We try to listen to reasoning and to understand his point of
view.
try to explain our reasons for pointing out our
feel and not the faults of others, for example saying "I felt offended
" instead of "I have offended."
We try to point out the behaviors that we have stumbled
instead of criticizing the other as a person, for example, saying "When you leave your desk clutter
hard for me to organize my work," rather
that "You are always the usual rowdy" .
not take much to turn a possible conflict in an exchange of views that will leave both satisfied
and
possible to find a practical solution suitable to both. And this is just the beginning, because
peace and smile interior that gives rise to, are contagious, as well as the grin
are aggressive and tend to fight back.
E 'this smile that makes them strong. Who knows what has proved more powerful
the meeting of the clash. Who has tried
believes in peace and is willing to face any difficulty
for peace, is alert as a warrior in the service of his mission
becomes a Warrior of Light, capable of fighting for the highest values \u200b\u200b
.
Those who unite and not divide, those who are serving life
may not give the illusion of being powerful, but they become strong.
