Peace is Being-Together in the Ways-of-Shalom. Being-Together in the Ways-of-Shalom includes: 1. Developing new perspectives and frames of reference in which new helpful questions can be framed for responses. Helpful questions cannot be framed when people are stuck in tragically old traditional perspectives which do not fit the realities of our evolving civilizations. 2. Clarifying differences between different people's perspective, attitudes, assumptions, hopes and aspirations. Open and Honest Dialogue is difficult if not impossible so long as such differences are not clarified and are not talked about. 3. Clarifying the differences between the consequences of responding to Alienative-Behaviors in (a) Healthy-Ways; and the consequences of responding in (b) Tragically- Unhealthy-Ways. The vast majority of people lose much in the latter case. The few people who gain much in the latter case do not gain as much as the vast majority of people lose! What is the point of choosing the Tragically-Unhealthy-Ways? Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom. (c) 2007 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
