We all dream of a life where we get along with one another. We dream of a good marriage and a good family and we also dream of good health for physical bodies. When one of these is lacking we tend to become very restless people. So restless that wars and troubles begin for many people who lack a greater sense of peace and self-awareness. I can tell you from experience a greater sense of self-awareness may not solve the problem but it will provide some solutions to what you are looking for. There are so many books on self-help and ways to make you live a better life, you may be asking with so much suffering in the world what point is it if I cannot even afford my next meal. Another question you might be asking is does the end of the war cause the end of all suffering? The answer to that question is no there is great pain experienced when people fight one another. Politics is not the answer.
When a little child is hungry and crying for his mommy all he really wants is to be comforted. Does what the human race want now is only comfort? If it were just comfort then we would surely find it very quickly. I think we all want more than comfort. But what the human heart really craves is a desire for self-sufficiency and security. When our desires of self-sufficiency and security are taken from us we become helpless. You might want to know that it is possible to regain a sense of unhelplessness. Politics does play a part in healing the world, but it has to be politics that makes sense to both parties. The solution is it one set of rules to go by and everyone follows it, it's more like many rules that everyone agrees upon in order to come to one particular solution. Does dividing the land necessarily mean that people will be punished for it? Only if that people in their heart of hearts understand that there is forgiveness even for the worst of sins. The solution is not dividing the land but actually uniting in the land that you want to divide. It is not a two state solution but a singular solution based on the fact of mutual understanding and exceptance.
When human beings learn to accept one another no matter where they come from, we will have found something that has been missing in this world for a very long time! Lasting peace comes at a cost and there'll always be conflict in this world so long as there is misunderstanding between both parties. The long-term solution involves huge conflict resolution. What that looks like is yet to be invented. But we can confidently say that it is not it is in our hearts to be at peace with one another. So long as we think of our friends as her enemies we will never have peace, so put aside anything that resembles hate towards your enemy and do what Jesus Christ taught his disciples to do love your enemies and do not hate them. For only in true reconciliation does the heart find rest. Rest is not found in the set of rules or regulations but rest is found when the heart finds it's true home in the God that he or she loves. This is peace.
