Description
Introduction While pondering the nature of peace for this paper, two personal events one of the authors experienced served as two reminders of two daunting aspects of our human condition (i.e., foolishness, and feigned helplessness masquerading as realism). First, on a recent flight to New York, there was (what appeared to be) omnipresent reminders that it was just a short time ago that people: (a) were allowed to smoke on planes, and (b) did smoke on planes. Imagine the utter foolishness and selfishness inherent in such behavior. More recently, in response to learning that the he was working on a paper to address "world peace," one relatively strong young graduate student of this author sheepishly inquired whether such effort was "silly and wasteful." Add to this foolishness, a fundamental ignorance, and a propensity for savagery, not to mention the numerous failed attempts to achieve peace exist throughout the annals of history, and one can easily doubt the usefulness of such efforts.
