ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS WELCOME PEACE LOVERS!

For many centuries there have been warring factions throughout the world attacking the innocent victims caught up in a blood bath of conflicting ideologies, differing philosophies, intolerance of religious convictions, power-hungry dictators, greedy governmental officials, and contrary and misunderstood cultural diversities. Many of the wars that often lasted for multiple years were caused by individuals and groups who were warring from within their own personalities and communities. The "Hatfields" and the "McCoys" often had no real reason for the ongoing conflicts except for unfounded myths and total misunderstandings. Often communications breakdowns were initiated by persons who simply did not like the other person for their culture, their religious convictions, their social norms, their unique philosophies, their languages, their location and turf, and their many other unreasonable designs to commit genocide for no other reason except HATE. HATE PRODUCES HATE and NEGATIVITY BEGETS NEGATIVITY. Being labeled an INFIDEL because of a difference of opinion and religious commitment is certainly brings about bias, prejudice, hostility, violence, and eventually martyrdom for the cause.

In some economic and political environments the CRISIS OF HATE is encouraged to separate the various factions to be identified and suffer SMEAR, DISCREDIT, AND DESTROY tactics through the media attack and under a cover of respectability. People of PEACE find these challenges on their way to conquer their goals of obtaining the LADDER OF ACHIEVEMENT with intense hostility and loneliness. Being PEACE MAKERS means that the Achievement Ladder Enthusiast will seek every opportunity to brings factions together to be open to one another and to rediscover the misunderstandings and the myths that have kept the WAR going for no apparent good reason. PEACE KEEPERS are those persons who attempt to continue the atmosphere of establishing the PEACE where once WAR was the only norm and way of life. Of course, there are those who are PACIFISTS who decide not to get involved in a fight that appears to have no good ending because of the warring factions and communities. In any WAR there are no WINNERS. There is suffering on all sides, and the divisions continue throughout history until HONEST PEACE EFFORTS are restored by PEACE LOVING persons and communities.

Even when there are PEACE TALKS with warring neighbors, the ultimate decision on having TRUE PEACE will be with mutual understanding and mutual respect of all parties involved in the conflicts. Some PEACE healing will take many years to be effective for all those still having an INTERNAL WAR in their mind and heart brought on by many reasons including a spiritual battle that goes unresolved and unaffected. Where are the PEACE-LOVING DIPLOMATS that seem to be lost or unavailable or unwilling to bring about MUTUAL HOLISTIC PEACE? '"MAKE ME AN INSTRUMENT OF YOUR PEACE...." THE PRINCE OF PEACE, THE GOD OF PEACE is the ONLY WAY, the ONLY TRUTH, and the ONLY LIFE that will make LASTING PEACE A REALITY into ETERNITY. Let us welcome all PEACEMAKERS who seek the ultimate goal--HIS PEACE, HIS JOY, AND HIS LOVE...FOR NOW AND INTO ETERNITY!
