Subject: RE: BS: Department of Peace
I firmly believe that there is hope for individuals and groups. But part of deploying that hope is learning ways of handling desperation which is always compounded by confusion and re-activation of past trauma and loss, not just present factors. Usually.

The problem is in the thinking, both in instances of war and in instances of self destruction.

And the only things that can change thinking are the authors of that thinking, with additional communication or education.

So those are tqwo angles on both individual and group dyunamics that need some really workable approaches identified for routine, repeatable peace-waging technology.

Interesting thread. Good night all.
