Looking at the world today, the Middle East is just one of the regions where tensions remain high, and there is a strong need for the parties involved or affected by these tensions to communicate and engage in dialogue. This is critical to finding a breakthrough to persistent conflicts and bringing stability to the region.
Even so, there is no need to fall into meaningless and unproductive pessimism. All these problems are caused by human beings, which means that they must have a human solution. However long the effort takes, so long as we do not abandon the work of unknotting the tangled threads of these interrelated issues, we can be certain of finding a way forward.
No efforts will gain the wholehearted support of people or succeed in bringing about lasting stability and peace without a spirit of self-mastery based on an acute awareness of the humanity of others--something that I consider to be the very essence of civilization.
We life in difficult times and in a region scarred by atrocities of war and sectarian violence. The common man is suffering and living each day without any hope in sight. It is therefore imperative that world community and specially the effected people to unite together and with a single minded determination end this violence through initiating dialogues, peace talks and through action of non-violence.
Every war has started in the human heart. And so has every great act that has changed the world for the better. In the end, peace will not be realized by politicians signing treaties. True and lasting peace will only be realized by forging life-to-life bonds of trust and friendship among the world’s people. Human solidarity is built by opening our hearts to each other. This is the power of dialogue. |
