Here is a disturbing report of the systematic rape of women in the African nation of Congo by soliders. The use of extremely violent rape as a strategy has become increasingly widespread in civil conflicts.
When you read what these women have experienced - one lady was raped in front of her children and husband by a group of soldiers, her husband was then disembowelled, and she was then gang raped repeatedly for three days along with her 8 and 10 year old daughters - you should become serious about doing something about yourself. Stop sitting around wasting your life worrying about how you can make things more comfortable for yourself. The world is sliding into a dark pit.
The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.
One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.
Morihei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido, The Art of Peace
We must become the change we wish to see in the world
