The culture of peace, which has made great strides in the last few decades, vies with the culture of violence. But this malign culture has also developed strongly, as is shown by a global explosion of economic inequality & military violence. This has been helped by enormous technological advances & more open marketing. These factors also have the potential for helping the development of a peace culture, but are currently dominated by the lust for power & profit facilitated by these developments. But the inner resources both generating & generated by the movement for peace could dissolve the forces of violence in time to avoid devastating catastrophes of war & environmental disharmony. Time, as we know, will tell. Adapted from the source document.
