Five thoughts, ideas, insights, or quotes to power up your mind to think differently and creatively about life and who we are. Put all previous thinking away and open up a brand new world of the Supermind. YOUR SuperMind.
This week – World Peace.
Back in the day beauty pageant contestants were often asked what they most wanted in the future. The majority made one simple statement; ‘World peace’. That was then (fifty or so years ago), but world peace seems as far away and as fragile as it’s ever been. SuperMind Saturday therefore has to get involved. Let’s switch our minds on.
Let’s begin.
- American politician Ginny Brown-Waite made a telling declaration when she said, ‘The UN has failed…in its mission to promote world peace’. The UN was once the bastion of ensuring conflicts were controlled and not allowed to develop. They do seem powerless to do that in the current time. Who then do we turn to for world peace? Who is independent enough to help keep the peace that is fair to all?
- Peace is our normal human setting. We don’t strive to fight, we prefer to live without hostility and bloodshed. And yet, war and fighting continue today as much as they did in ancient times. We seemed to have learnt very little. Why do humans not want peace and prefer war so often?
- Ask any normal citizen on the street and they will say they want peace in the world. Everyday people never choose battle and suffering. Therefore it is one or two leaders that lead their country out of peace into combat despite our wishes. How can we work to ensure no warfare can ever start without the public as a whole deciding it is the right, and only, thing to do?
- Children love. Children care. Children want to be friends. Yet, they become adults who seek anything but peace. We teach children to be good, to be kind, to think about others…..then they turn into the opposite. What is happening in our society that good little people become angry, attacking adults, often so soon as their early twenties?
- Peace may never be happening across all of the world, but peace is happening in MOST of the world at any one time. The majority of the population are peaceful live-and-let-live humans. Which is why the news promotes the opposite and the media seems to wait for it. How can we get them to find more positive stories? Are they to blame at spreading a message that the world is not largely a very peaceful place? And the big question of the day….how can we give world peace a better PR and image?
OK SuperMinds, keep the peace and share the good things with each other. It’s our world.
And that wraps up another SuperMind Saturday. Thank you for being here for the SuperMind time. Keep thinking about these through the week to open up more of your mind and its potential. Consider more, generate ideas more, think on bigger possibilities more, activate your connection to your personal higher mind. Employ your SuperMInd and Super Think!
See you next time for more super thinking.
