Peace Please

Posted on 07. Jan, 2009 by Karen in Reflections

In 1969 as I graduated from high school, everyone was talking about war. 40 years later we’re still talking about it. Will we ever get around to focusing on peace in my lifetime? There are days when I look at the news and think peace is still an elusive concept. So I’m taking time today to bring it up by sharing this video with a favorite song written by John Lennon:

    Thanks so much for that blast from the past. The music back then said it all for our generation. As for our current situation, don’t forget Neil Young’s “Living with War.” He’s still got it after all this time. Make music, not war!

    It’s a lovely sentiment, but eons of human history have shown that people always divide into groups, the smallest being the family unit. I think the only way to achieve peace is to acknowledge the differences and work with them, not deny their existence.

    Diane–Thanks for the reminder about Living with War! And you’re so right, the music of our generation spoke volumes.

    Laura–I agree that trying to ignore our differences or minimize them has been a complete failure. Time for Plan B.
