How we can make peace stronger
First, we absolutely can make peace stronger.
World Peace is not easy to make; more on that later.
But over time we can make peace grow from our small beginnings.
So start small. Just look around yourself. Be alert for small problems.
Try to resolve some of them before they lead to angry arguments and sour disagreements.
That approach works well in schools, remarkably well in ones that train their young pupils as school-time mediators.
It also works for almost everyone at the start of their independent life, as their mother mediates the intense stresses experienced by her newborn child.
Ideas in modern neuroscience suggest that such care may be the physical origin of peace and a practical way to grow a greater peace.
Everyday vigilance and helpfulness among friends and communities will, meanwhile, leave fewer problems in later need of scarce and more costly help.
