I see the G20 is meeting and it was declared the world is underperforming projections and in debt by some $300T+. The US rep says that we need to de-regulate and all other things that benefit the uber-wealthy to encourage growth.

The elephant in the room is the constant defense spending and warring, and refugee movement, and loss of human productivity it all creates.

What if we just outlawed war and allowed the human race to actually prosper for a few decades??

Давайте вместе примем идеологию о том, что мир во всём мире возможен, просто никто не хочет делать к нему шаги из-за своих убеждений. И пожалуйста, переведите этот пост на другие языки — я не хочу славы, я хочу добра и позитива.

I found myself again by deleting social media, and I discovered new hobbies and started enjoying old hobbies and passions again. In the end, like Mom says, the real problem is the phone.

Pope Leo XIV also warned against the futility of hatred and violence.

"Hatred and violence," he said, "lead to nothing good, but only to destruction and death, always—even when they are a response to injustices suffered. We see this every day, from the smallest circumstances of our domestic lives to the great stage of the world."

He reminded the faithful that every sphere of human existence needs life, hope, serenity, and peace: from individuals themselves to peoples and nations.

Therefore, whatever the wound, whatever the offense, he suggested, let us not allow evil to disfigure our humanity and corrupt us in our hearts.

The constant noise and endless rush of city life gets so exhausting. For me, true peace and happiness comes from quietness, nature and the soothing sound of a flowing river.

Would you switch to a slower lifestyle if you could?

I don't know much about the new Pope, but anybody who gets an entire stadium of people shaking hands and celebrating peace can't be too bad.

What are the best resources that an individual can look to to help support their endeavors to bring about peace, such as websites or organizations or individual individuals?

If humanity could keep only ONE of these values — honesty, generosity, goodwill or solidarity — which would you choose?

Today Pope Leo XIV is visiting Rimini, Italy. If you had one brief message about peace, humanity or hope that you could put in front of a world religious leader today, what would you say? I’m curious to hear answers from people of any faith — or no faith at all.

I understand peace is the best option for us but why do we keep choosing war at every turn?

Haven't figured it out yet. Sick of this timeline. Can't sleep without nightmares.
