In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.
We have to slowly, carefully, and thoughtfully align all of our interests.
We look at the world and analyze the world, and see what we can do that is in line of our mutual interest and also in line with, you know, what the whole world needs, because this is a world where we really have to all work together.
The last thing we need is to turn in on ourselves rather than face us up to what we have to do in the world.
In our quest for peace, we should constantly ask ourselves what we should do to create conditions in which peace can prosper.
We need to see, and agree that what we seek already lives within us, and we within it. Now we know our one great task: watch for whatever promises us freedom, and then quietly, consciously refuse to see ourselves through the eyes of what we know is incomplete. Then we live wholeness itself, instead of spending our lives looking for it.
