| | Peace | | ~ Idea 269 ~ 5 April 1995
Napoleon did not send his military trainees to Universities. He created military academies where they were taught a total science of war, a total strategy of war and a total methodology of war. The German General Clausewitz perfected that system in the 19th century by proclaiming that there was no limit to the use of violence. Since then we have hundreds of military "academies" in the world teaching this, with the recent amendment that the objective is no longer war but "defense". There exists nothing similar for peace.
After my forty years of UN service I thought that academia had done its job and developed a science, a strategy and a methodology of peace. There exists nothing of the sort. I have therefore decided to throw all my weight behind the first University for Peace on the planet, in demilitarized Costa Rica, and to develop a total science, a total strategy and total methodology of peace. Wherever the military are the peacemakers will be, from outer-space and star-wars to atomic and genetic warfare, which will be replaced with star-peace and atomic and genetic peace. You have your monuments, and medals to warriors, we will have them for peacemakers. This is why governments are so scared of this University: only 32 of 185 have ratified its statute and only three have provided it with minimal help.

-A Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, 1995, Chapter 6 | The life of each person, group and nation is part of a mysterious global journey. What we do together amounts to much more than what we do individually. Only time and the future will tell what our real influence was.

A reply below to Robert's: "Someone told me that I was imitating Peace Pilgrim with my 5000 Ideas and Dreams. This is a very interesting thought. I might indeed be a pilgrim for a better world through my writings, my speeches and endless efforts. Perhaps someday next to the Peace Pilgrim's statue at the Peace Monument of the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica there might be a statue of me as the Better World Ideas Pilgrim. This would be wonderful."
namaste robert.....I have always heard that if you don't know what to do....pick out your favoriite saint or person and emulate them.......I have tried to emulate Peace Pilgrim since reading her book in 1984......sometimes I feel that I have a long way to go and other times I just sit in the beauty of Thich Nhat Hanh...."I am here, in the Now" and enjoy the miracle of walking on the back of mother earth one more day.......blessings silver eagle

How, you might wonder, can a man who, as an Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, was within the circles of power in the last half of the bloody 20th century have so much enthusiasm for human possibilities? Somehow he manages to see half full glasses as full glasses in the making. He has inspired my life as I read this book and allow him to do the same for you." -Vicki Robin, co-author Your Money or Your Life, founder Conversation Cafes. *
