Funny enough, when at war, sometimes the peacemakers are the most hated. Nobody seems to like the pacifists. But I’m with you and I join your call for peace nonetheless.

> Genuine compassion, patience, and mercy are non-negotiable attributes when it comes to building lasting peace.

REPLY: I agree without them one cannot see the forest for the trees.

>Taking the time to understand other’s frame of mind and how to build trust and understanding is the only reliable path to making progress in dark times.

REPLY: There is more to it than our frame of mind. Rather our mind has been famed. How? The vast majority of humanity are cut off from nature. Nature clearly marks our limits. In our mind superman can fly. In the natural reality of this Earth we cannot. Planes etc. are really not flying like birds and bats do. The plane a kind of flying, you just sit in the seat.

We have been framed by in large to live in our minds. Living fully in nature constantly calls into question any fantasies we may be wishing.

For me the folks with their feet on the ground are the Amish. For some of us their religious beliefs are a fantasy. The important point is that their belief doesn't get in the way of practical every day life that respect nature and their fellow beings.

We have been frame! Our frame of reference is no longer the natural world. It is our mind. That is not a good thing. Because today by enlarge our mind frames reality via the messaging we get from media. Be it mainstream, alternative, social etc. Our mental reality may be some fantasy fiction we read in a book or day dream ourselves,. We need the natural world to comment on whether our inner mental reality is in anyway compatible with nature.

one more thought found on RT which relates to James Corbett's documentary. Quite sad to me really.

The conflict with Russia proves that public opinion must be controlled, French Army Chief of Staff Pierre Schill has said

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has shown that today's warfare necessitates controlling public opinion by dictating what information is made available to people, the French Army's chief of staff has concluded.

Speaking in an interview posted on Sunday by Defense News in advance of this week's Eurosatory defense and security conference in Paris, French Army General Pierre Schill said the conflict in Eastern Europe has "changed the dynamics of combat." He added that in addition to key advances on the battlefield - such as more extensive use of drones and military adaptation of civilian technologies - the crisis has proven that the flow of information must be controlled "to influence both national and international public opinion."
