I have been thinking about PEACE.

It is something that everyone (apart from arms companies), seems to want.

But we have a range of approaches to how we seek it.

One of the most common in the world today, is the quest for security..

From the kindly man in the Israeli settlement, hoping for peace by making it absolutely impossible for the desperate palestinian suicide bomber to get close.
To the responsible people who ordered the 400+ CCTV cameras to watch everyone in and out of Kings Cross station.
To the concerned officials who insist on having the right to arrest and detain anyone they choose to suspect of being a danger.
To the governments who want to declare war on anyone who might one day in the future gain the capabilities to be a threat.


I would just suggest that perhaps it is Justice, that has a closer relationship with Peace, than Security does.

I dont have easy answers, I just think this deserves some consideration.
And that it is always worth thinking twice before acting from a motivation that is fearful.
