This world of ours is forever spinning to the beat of the insatiable, unstoppable drums of destruction. Our thirsts for vengeance overpowers our abilities to negotiate, communicate, cut down the barriers between each other and progress towards a bloodless resolution. A drop of life's force must be spilled to end a conflict? In this world, yes, it would seem. The loud thunderclap of a bullet let loose by a child wearing soldier's armor overpowers the louder clap of the word "Peace"? In this world, yes. What can we do to survive the coming years? Insistence upon a peaceful end is the only way to pacify the warring parties. But how can you insist peace if we fail to acknowledge its presence? When we lay down our arms, raise white flags in surrender to the power of peace, then we can truly harness the light of resolution. Peace is within our reach, we need only free our hands of the shackles that bind us, and release ourselves from the dark pit of war and destruction that blinds us. We are not broken. Simply lost.
