A PLAN TO END TERRORISM

 

   
 

As a high profile target, we need visions that give hope. Wars beg at wars! The War on Poverty was well meaning, but only pushed poverty below the surface, because the old core attitudes remained. We need to teach a new way to be humans in our shared world. Here is my visionary plan:

1. Look within each. Discover the acts of terror we express, and how we can forgive ourselves for them. Then learn how to change.

2. Look in our home. Share these insights. Teach our families how to safely handle feelings and reactions to terror.

3. Look in our community. Support the parents, teachers, mentors and counselors who are leading efforts to end the practice of all kinds of terrorism.

4. Look in our schools. What career path can you follow that helps the eradication of the terrorism? Become a healer.

5. Find strength, hope, and comfort in spiritual reality that inspires loving reactions, which end the desperate resort to terrorism

6. Realize the enormity of the challenge and the wonders of success. Do our best to make a difference where we are. Sow healthier seeds. America is in the limelight of the world; we should set an example for a new more evolved way to be human.

7. Relieve your anxiety, fear, and negative stress by learning an art form; share that with others in a supportive positive environment. This feels better and is safer as we learn to create a better future. []
