Radical peace

Author: Vimala Thakar

The world we live in today is full of suffering, discomfort, violence, of a restlessness born of inner disharmony. True peace, both individual and global, is not the result of marches or meetings at the top, but can only derive from a transformation, indeed, a global, holistic 'mutation' of the person. Because peace is not only non-war and non-aggression: it is moving from a fragmentary perspective of life, based on the concepts of me and mine, to a holistic perspective; it is moving from the psychological dimension of confrontation and competition to a psychology of love and collaboration.
