Yes, Yann! You are so right! Things are a lot simpler than we silly people make them. Look at the animals. They get it right!

Confidence and dialogue works a lot more often than we think it would. I have seen that for myself many times. It should always be our first attempt. If both parties are willing, it makes it so much easier.

Thank you Martie for your reply. If everyone took the trouble to understand what peace is, want it and strive for it, the world would still not be perfect, but nevertheless a much better place. It is so much simpler and more possible than one would think. Smiles and hugs.
