Our planet is in danger
World peace is threatened by wars in various parts of the world. Wars have always been part of human history, including the two world wars. During the Second World War, the first atomic bombs in history were dropped. Today, we must stop the wars in Ukraine and Gaza to save world!
World peace must come from within first; inner peace is the source of this. It is a personal state of mind rather than a collective one. Every human being is responsible for cultivating inner peace for the sake of world peace, global peace and the survival of our planet and its inhabitants.
In the 21st century, nuclear arms races and wars are the ultimate battles. Such a war would be self-destructive and there could be no winners in a battle involving nuclear bombs, so it must be avoided at all costs. Therefore, world peace and peace in any nation, state or country must begin with inner peace and the promotion of a culture and society of peace.
Learning from the past, we must avoid human conflicts caused by religion and ethnicity, and develop multiculturalism and multireligiosity, embracing all forms of faith and ethics without contradiction.
Understanding the dangers facing our planet should foster courage rather than fear. This aligns with the idea that fear is a false response to a threat, whereas realistic knowledge and compassion cultivate courage and constructive action. True courage stems from an informed understanding, enabling one to face challenges with perseverance and wisdom. In contrast, fear, which is often the result of misinformation or a lack of understanding, can paralyse action and lead to unrealistic thinking.
Fear is a false emotion that can be a response to both real and imagined threats. It can be overwhelming and lead to
unrealistic ideas, feelings of discomfort and an inability to act constructively. Courage is born of realistic knowledge and understanding, enabling one to overcome negative emotions such as fear and act with perseverance, patience, tolerance and wisdom. False knowledge is a type of information that can create fear.
Realistic knowledge is a clear and accurate understanding of a situation; it fosters courage and develops the skills needed to address challenges effectively. When facing the reality that our planet is in danger, it is important to move beyond fear.
A realistic understanding of, and compassion for, the planet and its future can inspire courage and positive thoughts and ideas for action. Converting the energy of fear into courage and skilful action enables us to address the challenges facing our planet more effectively.
