We watch what’s going on in Ukraine/Russia and Israel/Palestine and think, how horrible. And it is, so much hatred and lust for power. So much suffering. And we think: Someone has to fix this problem, maybe some government that can step in and stop the mayhem. But the nations of the world – including the United Nations itself – seem unable to act, and the chaos grows. As the famous American broadcaster Walter Cronkite once said, “War itself is…a form of madness. It’s hardly a civilized pursuit. It’s amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace.”
