Peace for you, or peace for others.
You must chose.
Or can you, because they are both so intrinsically intertwined?
It’s not up to me to decide, nor you, but it is an observation I have made. And that is all that it is, it’s not an opinion(or is it)(yet) it’s simply what I’ve seen.
Is current observation an opinion? …nahh, it can’t be?
The difference in this case, however, is that we are discussing the intrinsically intertwined. What does that mean exactly? Well…a bit like YOU, me and rest of the human race. Everyone is the same, but different.
Anyway, anywho, anyhow..back to Pax or Peace.
I saw this somewhere, in a book perhaps, I can never remember where, but I had a thought whilst running, do you chose peace…or peace? Peace for yourself, or peace for others? I can’t always chose both, yet I can’t always choose I, and do everything and all that brings ME peace. This will, and will upset the peace of my life. I can’t always choose the peace of life, and the peace of others because I won’t have peace within? ARGH
The cognitive bias within is rife. A term I only truly understood this week, it is rife within you, and me. It only naturally leads me to question, can it be overcome?
I got the title first, but then the writing?..it never came! Until now, only about 2 weeks late, or 2 hours – whatever way you look at it.
Pax or Peace. 24th April it actually was, you do the maths. Did you know the Jewish are living in the year 5784?
The first part of the title, ‘Pax’ origins from the term ‘Pax Romana’, the name given to 200 year period of peace within the Roman Empire. Now, the Romans were always in conflict but this is in regard to the lack of fighting between Romans, and other Romans; peace from civil war. It makes it even more interesting for me, when you look at the First Triumvirate, (a sort of pre-cursor attempt of Pax Romana), which was almost brought about by 3 individuals, one of them by the name of Crassus! Possibly a distant relative, I like to imagine.
