"THE IMPACT OF SUSTAINABLE PEACE THROUGH TRUTH"

               FRACTURED FAMILY      "THE IMPACT OF SUSTAINABLE
            PEACE THROUGH TRUTH" 
                            
"The history of all hitherto existing society, is the history of class struggle"-Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Peace and truth are two interconnected concepts that are essential for building harmony and understanding in our lives.

                      **PEACE**

Peace can be defined as a state of tranquility, freedom from disturbance, and absence of conflict. However, achieving absolute peace is challenging, if not impossible, due to the complexities of human relationships and differing interests.

                         **TRUTH**

Truth, on the other hand, refers to the quality or state of being true, certainty, and facts. It is a crucial element in building trust, resolving conflicts, and achieving sustainable peace. However, truth is relative, and perspectives can influence what is considered true.

In family dynamics, conflicts can arise due to differing interests and needs, disrupting peace and making it challenging to maintain. To restore peace, true confessions born out of genuine remorse are essential. This approach involves acknowledging wrongdoing, seeking forgiveness, and working towards reconciliation.

True forgiveness is also necessary for sustainable peace. It requires a willingness to let go of past hurts and work towards healing and understanding. By embracing true confessions and forgiveness, individuals can move towards a more meaningful and sustainable resolution of conflicts.

The impact of peace through truth is profound. It fosters healing, understanding, and reconciliation, ultimately leading to a more peaceful coexistence. By prioritizing truth and genuine communication, we can build stronger relationships and create a more harmonious environment.

The most significant barriers to achieving peace through truth; the preference for lies, sympathies, emotions, and bribery over truth can indeed create significant barriers to achieving peace. When individuals or groups prioritize these factors, it can lead to:

1. Distrust: Lies and manipulation can erode trust, making it challenging to build strong relationships or resolve conflicts.
2. Emotional manipulation: Appealing to emotions rather than facts can create divisions and reinforce biases.
3. Corruption: Bribery and other forms of corruption can undermine fairness and justice, perpetuating conflicts.

In such situations, promoting critical thinking, fact-based decision-making, and a culture of transparency can help counter these barriers. Encouraging open dialogue, active listening, and empathy can also facilitate a deeper understanding of different perspectives.


"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" - Franklin D. Roosevelt. 
 
Therefore, the only stumbling block toward achieving sustainable peace via truth is the fear to tell the truth.

The flashbacks keep coming back in successions. I still hear her voice in my head. I see her pictures and feel like she is still just a call away. "A brother who is at war with himself lacks the moral standard to broker peace outside or convoke a general family assembly to pontificate about peace when his kitchen is in tatters."-Princeclintonuzohr  This is my favourite line from this piece.

"CONFLICT RESOLUTION"

Image
FRACTURED FAMILY As the family got bogged down by the quagmire that has the potential and the capacity to continue to shred it apart to smithereens for generations to come, friends, well-wishers, fiends and the quarreling parties alike turned blind eye to  this malady. Their negligence became a tinder igniting the smoldering smoke of discord  into a consuming flame of strife , hostility and disunity among siblings. What was more, their unwillingness, hubris,  accusations and recriminations to navigate out of this mire festered and seemed intractable. Every form of social intercourse among siblings ground to a halt, with hurtful and malicious undercurrents. Separate existence became a preference,which sacrificed communal existence on the altar of cloistered living with an eerie dash. The centerpiece of this saga was the matriarch. The situation insidiously eroded her sinew and brawniness, but she displayed exceptional strength,resilience and determination to...

"TEARFUL PROTEST FROM SHEOL"

Image
FRACTURED FAMILY   The teardrops from the great beyond flooded the matriarch's compound and the nightingale lamented ceaselessly for closure. Threatening to metamorphose into an ocean if not pacified. "My wishes and instructions prior to my journey of no return were disregarded by my very loved ones. What a heinous betrayal with a tragic implication?"  "The chasm between us though very wide, but God watches over our actions and reserves for the villain his deserts." "Exhume and gather my remains, transport them to my chosen place of burial and  there commit them to mother earth. This is the only placation to get my soul to repose in perfect peace.  My soul is still hovering and wandering desultorily. How can I  rest in peace, let alone perfectly.  Is to obey not better than sacrifice?" "While I remained with you, I cherished burial brochure. But why was none designed for me, d o I not  deserve that?"
