Around in Oslo, Norway
Near the end of two weeks on this little trip that is about to take me into Sweden. I explored a bunch of museums yesterday. The most notable one for this blog is the Nobel Peace Prize museum. Ironically started by the man who perfected the use of nitroglycerin - dynamite.
I went on a guided tour and I had this odd feeling. It is all high tech and well presented, but it struck me as very insignificant and empty. Is the world a more peaceful/good place since the inception? (Disregarding the other categories which are not the focus of the museum) Here are all these well known people who have good intentions telling how others to behave. Its an external message trying to penetrate a hardened body / shell.
Peace must come from within. It cannot be legislated with CONsensus agreements and laws that are open to wild interpretation by crafty lawyers. The external message model is pretty much the prevailing model for so many things. Take another pill...rather than trying to find the source of a problem. Use some SHAMpoo rather than finding the cause of dandruff.
The source for negativity and hate has been de-coded. The source for many things we buy -CONsumer products will be decoded soon enough. There are so many snake oil sales(wo)men out there.
The day we stop being in AWe of others and handing out AWards (Pride boosters) then there will be peace. We just need to BE GOOD. Real simple formula. When one is GOOD, they just want to do GOOD. No more heroes in the next era. Recognition, but no need for trophies or pieces of paper. Just people doing GOOD is GOOD enough for me.
Onward!
