Peace on Earth – Summary of My Reflection
(suomeksi osoitteessa https://t.me/incoloursandvibrations/142)
Now we can see that the great cultures of the #world are "squeezing" together (#migration, #economy, #communication). At the same time, people are starting to face the common task of preventing #war (attack) and #terror.
What kind of starting point (#ethics and #morality) could be the basis for #peace? This issue seems to require new #thinking beyond the boundaries of #civilisations, and should be dealt with at #humanity level, among everyone of us.
The West
People of the #Western culture can bring #individual responsibility for one's actions and #freedom (rights) to the peace debate. This thinking is part of #Christianity and the principle is enshrined in #Constitutions of many countries (#republic of persons; #publicMatter, #publicSphere, #ResPublica).
In Western #media, freedom of #expression is precious. Anyone, as an individual, can submit, among other things, news and background material to the many channels of the #Internet. #Language translation and artificial intelligence (#AI, language models) tools are used in the human network.
A long tradition of #science (#Enlightment) can also stand for peace and #cooperation.
Conscience
My #conscience says that opposing wars (attack) and terror is always a good and right thing to do, even when the situation looks completely hopeless. Conscience is a powerful #force given to each of us.
