It is the most painful thing to see how young children become collateral damage of wars, but when peace treaties are signed landmines do not respect any of these accords. and as long as these silent killers linger after wars, children will never know peace

Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' it is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. what, after all, are the pretexts of all these cold war crises, but 'fighting for peace?' peace is something you have or do not have. if you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.
War Fighting World
Almost all wars, perhaps all, are trade wars connected with some material interest. they are always disguised as sacred wars, made in the name of god, or civilization or progress. but all of them, or almost all of the wars, have been trade wars.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Peace Mean Self
The experience of treaties being broken with impunity provide an afflicting lesson to mankind how little dependence is to be placed on treaties which have no other sanction than the obligations of good faith; and which oppose general considerations of peace and justice to the impulse of any immediate interest and passion.

It was reasonable to struggle, to suffer, perhaps even to die, for a more just, a more compassionate society, but not in a world with no future where, all to soon, the very words "justice," "compassion," "society," "struggle," "evil," would be unheard echoes on an empty air.

Academic marxism is a fantasy world, and unctuous compassion-sweepstakes, into which real workers or peasants never penetrate.
Real Compassion World
I gave myself permission to care, because there are a lot of people in this world who are afraid of caring, or afraid of showing that they care because it's uncool. it's uncool to have passion. it's so much easier to lose when you've shown everyone how much you don't care if you win or lose. it's much harder to lose when you show that you care, but, you'll never win, unless you also stand to lose. don't be afraid of your passion.
