Middle East: A Misnomer?  | | The Middle East... How full of irony is the name!
Many say that Eastern thought has some fundamental concepts among which are the avoiding of conflict, the non-use of coercive tactics, and - always - the seeking of consensus. Yet, can we say this of the Middle East and of the peoples and their methods of settling conflicts?
As a private citizen, do you have any suggestion/s on how to bring peace to this troubled land?

| | | | | | | | 1. kun2349 (7269) | 12 months ago | There was got to be a way.. As long as there are problems, there are bound to be solution.. Problems and conflicts started because they wanted something.. BUt in political views, it's not that simple, because it does not just concern them, it affects the world..
BUt what can private citizens do?? WHen those big guns are pushed to one corner, they will make sure they fight back, without thinking of its citizens.. After all, when they are not able to protect themselves, do u think they will care about other ple??

| | 3. michaeldadona (3771) | 12 months ago | Middle East component countries should settled down among themselves, having said, the Arabic people must sit down together in one open table to resolute one agreement. I think that is only the way to begin a new Arabic World and starts the peace value. List of Middle East Countries (19); Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Egypt, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, & Yemen.

| | 5. eeyore39 (3181) | 12 months ago | Never really had thought of that before but you are absolutely right on. As for the conflicts. There really is only two ways to make major changes to anything the first is education and we are decades behind in that area. They have taught their children how to settle conflict with fighting. Not sure we are going to change that any time soon. The other way to make major changes is through all out prayer. We are basically a christian nation who believe all things are possible through God. Well this would fall into those "all things".

| | 6. faith210 (8437) | 12 months ago | Hi bantilesroger! I really am not sure what is going in the inside of their hearts and minds for I am just someone who is on the outside trying to look in. As a private person who only knew a short part of their history and from what I have read in the news, I hope that they will try to let go of hatred and revenge. Easier said than done, but if they wish for peace and harmony in their land..I think that they should learn from the past. war and conflicts will not solve anything except in destroying other people's lives and eventually destroying oneself in the process. Life is too short to spend it in hating one another. They say that we should all give peace a chance but I could see that it is only written in words and not in the hearts of men. Sad, isn't it? Love and forgiveness is sometimes too hard to give especially when one of your family members have been caught in the war but will one wait for more deaths before finding love and forgiveness in their hearts. Again, I am just a person who is on the outside looking in. Maybe it is far more deeper than what i think and far more difficult but it will be more difficult to live a life with a troubled heart. Just my thoughts and I do hope and pray for their peace and ours too. Take care dear bantilesroger! May peace reign in all men's hearts! lovelots..faith210

| | 7. penny64 (643) | 12 months ago | That is a very interesting observation. War in the Middle East is a continous cycle. I don't know how you would break it without changing the entire culture of people, and what man has the right to do that?

| | 8. bamrahkirti (1070) | 12 months ago | I think that war and conflicts become part and parcel of their lives and they have their minds filled with hatred and jealousy. It is like a vicious circle and keeps growing day by day.As a private person i think the people should have their brain washed and they should understand clearly that war will not bring them peacee.It will only add insult to injury.

| | 9. kijiky (582) | 12 months ago | I personally think that the Government of the United States should take to cleaning up what is wrong with our own country before we go trotting around the world telling other Nations what they should do in theirs. We have enough Hungry, Homeless, Medically Needy, and Uneducated here that need our help. We need to help them first. Charity begins at Home, I was always told! What happened to that line of thinking? Our country would not be Billions, if not Trillions of dollars in debit and in another economic depression of we just kept our collective noses out of everyone's butt. But that's just my opinion. The Good Lord helps them that helps themselves.

santuccie (1940) | 12 months ago | I think you are misinterpreting the word "spiritual." Spirituality encompasses religion. By definition, spirituality concerns the belief in spirits; it is not confined to so-called "spiritualists." Religion is spiritualism with the added components of doctrine, tradition, and rituals. There are religious people who have a very close relationship with their Maker, as well as various "paranormal" abilities.
You believe that man is on a level plane with man's Maker. I think the Creator would have to be naive to give us power that could rival His/Her/Its/Their own. And if we were the Creator, I would have to question why we seem to have to regain our "divine" powers, and relearn the composition of the cosmos and mortal bodies that we ourselves made. I've heard many times before the proposition that the acquisition of a physical body is a sort of traumatic event, which causes amnesia for the spirit. But this is just something people have imagined; it has not been proven.
You may not be able to fully embrace two theistic faiths at once, but you can believe in spirits and doctrine at the same time. You do not, and I do not. But a vast majority of the world's population do. I suggest you look up "spiritual" in the dictionary, because your claim here is false. Thank you.
