The couples who are peacemakers are the ones who show affection and gentleness to the siblings. Expect a hard-headed sibling who grew in violence of the parents. A hard-headed individual never bring peace but rather sow discord in the society.
The ungentleness and violence of the parents as imagemaker may bear fruit of gentleness but this happens only when the sibling makes up his mind after comparing it w/ others whose life is at peace because of gentleness. But most of the time the children are the absorber of these values of the parents be it good or bad.
I'm not saying that today's leadership of men and women in our society have absorbed wrong mental conditioning from their homes which makes them to be the wrong leaders and bad influence. But only two things for sure, that what we are today has either depended on the kind of formation we have accepted from our old ones or personal choice taken from our own perspective and influence of our neighbor.
Peace begins in each one's heart. If we are the reason for the nation to be fragmented because of our choices then we're not advocating peace in our society. If it's constitutional to give the 1.3 million hectares of lands covered by the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) to 800,000 landless tillers and regular farm workers, then the government should do that favorably. These farmers have been rallying for about 2 decades now as I happen to encounter them since I began my field job in 1992. I just do not know if already happened in the past prior to what I have been witnessing.
Sisters and brothers, peace is not about the absence of war in any nation or word war in the society brought by battling different perspective but all about the presence of values that thinks of creativity on harmony than pretending innocent on the reality by saying, "I do not know" but actually we know, because peace is rooted both from knowing and believing. If we know and believe that this and that cause sobriety, then in the process we should become cautious on living it up because we would like to be at peace not only within ourselves but within the society where we do resolve. To be at peace in our own inner self is to be at peace with our society. Being at peace is being in control towards solidarity w/c leads to prosperity.
Romans 14:19 Let us then pursue what leads to peace & to building up one another.
Romans 15:1-2 We who are strong ought to put up with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves; let each of us please our neighbor for the good, for building up.
