A question regarding peace.

My idea of peace differs greatly to many. I believe that peace is never going to be achievable until individual people start to find peace within themselves. It's the old microcosm of the macrocosm thing. I understand that we as a human race in it's entirety has created the world as we see it today - and it's a darn mess! It's all based on a materialism that is far removed from where we want to be. So paradoxical that in the name of wanting love which provides our own inner peace we have killed and raped, robbed and adulterated, abused and hated. You know the biggest battle ever known to man is the battle of his own mind. And this is THE problem. The worst possible punishment for those who've committed crime is to make them meditate. Get them to go inside themselves and contend with their own mind. And for he who wants to judge a criminal worst than himself - go inside your own self and do the same. And this is why it can never be. Peace brother.
