Not at all, man. I just meant, how are we supposed to bring peace to
the world when we can't even bring it to this forum? Chett is just an
example. I don't mean it in poor taste. Nor do I mean to dig up bones.
I just mean, so long as peace is just a concept, is it really peace? I've
had alot of religious nutts and organizations force their concept of peace
on my life...all of them failed. I failed too. Peace is what's left when
resistance is dropped. "You will be peaceful if you will accept my definition
of peace for your life..." this is what most of us do to others. Be it
Christianity, Buddhism, Humanism, whatever. Even the Buddha sat out
innitially in search for his own self. He left his family, man. What he
found benefited all of us. But at first it was all about him. What the hell
is peace anyway? A webiste? A creed? Nope. Just doing what needs to
be done to ease another person's suffering, moment by moment.
