Emancipation?

  Nothing has changed. Men have the power: they have always felt entitled to it and they still are. "Emancipation" is just a word to be mocked because men remain in charge of the world's most vital matters. Women are still considered and expected to be pleasant decorations, needed to adjust and soften the atmosphere. ​And yet, despite this low level of consideration, that role is another kind of power nonetheless! It is a power that voracious women embrace and learn to wield in order to dominate, yet without ever clearly affirming this "dominant" role. This type of apparently "submissive power" is much easier to deny and far harder to measure. ​You see this dynamic very clearly in the Mediterranean countries, where the Arab domination left deep roots. In the northern countries it seems less evident. And yet a widespread, creeping hatred towards women remains very strong. The fact that a Swedish author, Stieg Larsson, wrote Men Who Hate Women, it shows ...

peace is an inner attitude


Yes, it is indeed an inner attitude that is not dependent on external circumstances but rather on a state of internal calm and tranquility maintained despite stressors.

Peace is an essential condition that you develop when you are able to regain and keep inner balance whenever the situations become unpleasent or turbulent. This inner stable condition is also the necessary basis to the work on oneself that we are required to accomplish to live a better and satisfying life. 

Because we need to be peaceful and in balance within to explore us in order to learn who we really are behind the masks required by social expectations. 

-First step knowing oneself; 
-Second: accepting one's reality within and without; 
-Third: working on oneself to improve one's flaws, and at the same learning the best way to express one's qualities, in order to actively participate to one's and the general wellbeing. 

On the other side, one has to be predisposed towards a peace attitude. Because peace requires a constant work. Just like having a very special flower in your garden. You must constantly keep an eye on your special flower, cut the dead leaves, check the earth, keep it clear from weeds, check the humidity, the right nutritionals... Not every body has a predisposition towards flowers and gardening. 

The same with peace. Not everybody is ready inside. Their story, their past on Earth or perhaps somewhere else... There are far too many people motivated by anger, greed, vanity and not always these obscure parts are immediately evident.  But when they come to the surface make sure you take distance and keep them far away. Because they do not want a relationship, they want to fight, they want war, they want to dominate, subdue and humiliate, even annihilate... They are very dangerous people. Keep yourself safe, stay away! 
Unfortunately, they may even belong to your family! This painful awareness requires a long work, within, to come to terms with this horrid reality.
