You are still strawmanning.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 6:17 amI am far from blind, I have seen countless men and women force their version of peace onto the world only for it to be consumed by conflict. You think you are on some special vital mission unknowing that the people you conflict with are of the same desire. Peace is the word that tears people apart. It is akin to madness as there are so many contradicting versions that the mere utterance of the word is a self diagnosed form of schizophrenia.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 3:25 amYou seem to want to counter for countering sake but is so blind to reality.
Yours is a strawman.
I reminded you that the idea of perpetual peace is a guide and a tool to motivate progress towards greater peace.
I did not imply man is trying to make the world a paradise [heaven on Earth] but 'peace' [harmony] and toward the ideal of perpetual peace.
"peace = a state or period in which there is no war or a war has ended; tranquillity, freedom from disturbance." {google dict.}
From a personal perspective, you appear that you don't want to ensure there are no murderers, rapists, violent terrorists within your nearest vicinity or no bombs to be dropped on your house and neighborhood like what is going in Gaza and elsewhere?
Striving towards the ideal of perpetual peace is based on a holistic and foolproof approach, i.e. no potential for greater conflicts but lesser and lesser conflicts.
It is because of peace that there are criminals for the criminals do what gives them peace and one version of peace conflicts with another. You are ignorant of human nature if you think a metaphorical pure white light gives everyone peace when the stark reality is that some find coherency in a black bottomless pit where all things are just gone...including the mind.
I have interned in a correctional facility and sheriff's department for my degree in criminal justice, knew people who did real exorcisms, been in quite a few physical confrontations where fighting was unavoidable, worked with the homeless and mentally ill, that where either violent or suicidal, and can speak from personal experience alot of people do not want any version of peace but there own and this often times conflicts with other people's versions of it.
You live in a fantasy world to justify a desperately needed purpose life is not giving you.
Conflict is the nature of the world and you are ignorant in seeing that half the time in this forum you cause the conflict you hypocritically preach against.
Rather than look for peace people should embrace conflict like a friend, then there will be peace. You are trying to rewrite the world into something that is not in its nature by cutting off the part of the human condition that just does not want peace.
