Political Conflict Resolution 101

Put 4-5 people

The leaders most centrally involved with the actual decisions that are being made unto their lives

And those making that decision

Just the absolute core few

Then strip them away of everything

Literally

Put them all in the exact same style robes and socks

And tell them to leave all their drama at the door

All their inner stories

Secretly in debt

Leave it at the door

In love with your friends significant other

Leave it at the door

Obsessed with your looks, success, money, power,

whatever it is

Any and all of it

leave it there; at the door

To be retrieved at the end of the meeting

Don't worry

It won't go anywhere

Now

Leaving you special interest at the door as well; don't let's forget

Which is the hardest things to let go off for some

Come in to the room with only two things;

Your ears

And your heart

And if it arises

As sometimes does

That it is your heart that wishes to speak

Then and only then open your mouth to "sing"


But what do I know?

I understand that there are some horrendous people in this world

That through whatever path they had in life

Whatever pains they themselves endured

They are now seeking and/or deliberating terrible vengeance

On innocent people

That evil should be channeled 

For the good of humanity

And if it can't then it should be dealt with

Are there higher forms of justice than even governments and/or warlords; or rather mere  (all be it sometimes substantially powerful) mortals can try and control

I like to think so 

who judges the judges?

Who makes sure their judgment is not privy to outside and/or self-advocating purposes; stays impartial and for the truly better good?

God obviously

But beyond that self

We all know what would be the most compassionate 

The most humane

The less selfish

the way of the divine

Deep down we all feel that

It's just that most people have closed themselves off to it

Some people almost completely 

They don't ever challenge their mind

Their heart has almost completely stopped whispering its soft song

But while you are alive 

While your heart beats 

And your waves function 

You can always find your way back 

To your true home

It's there

And most assuredly

Only there

That you will ever find

True security

True happiness

True love
