Most would agree that we are living in times of fastpaced change, diving headlong into uncharted waters with peace nowhere on the horizon. Many feel afraid, victimised by systems, individuals, or lack of information. Historically, with our backs against the wall, the survival mechanism swings into action and we instinctively defend, resist, fight back, feeling the need to do something. Indeed, something does need to be done, but different from our learned responses of resisting or ‘making war’ on what we don’t like or fear. Terrorising others will never produce a happy outcome, or allow us to feel deeply peaceful, and is actually throwing gasoline on fire.
