I agree with all the statements and would like to add / expand with my own thoughts. It starts with how we raise our children, so many are brutalized every day, not only in the horrific ways we read about in places such as libya and Darfur but also next door in our neighbor's homes. Children respond to brutality as they mature in many ways; but generally there are two major results; they either become brutalizers themselves or they champion the victims and see themselves as victors / survivors. There is another large group that just represses the experiences & goes about life using one substance or another to help numb the pain and memories of the experiences. We must start with the children and families as we also start within our own souls and families. As we support peace in our own homes, relationships, souls...we should also be reaching out in any we can to help those young ones that have no victor / voice. To risk cliche: they are our future. That child you see being smacked upside the head may be your nursing home attendant one day, if they never worked through their anger, how do you think they will be treating their patients? That crying baby on the airplane whose parents are doing their best to soothe and calm their child without scaring it into submission, that child may be your E.R. Doctor one day. "It takes a village."

Comment by Jason: Yes Lizette. And I know for some it can seem so far away that we can truly love and support each other, at least be friends, but that time is here. We are moving quickly into a New World and you are a pillar in it. I look forward to the day when the word enemy becomes outdated.
