From Linkedin Creative Writers, Artists and Designers 14th October 2024:

They posed the question:

PEACE – Has the planet forgotten this word?

The significance of the word ‘peace’ becomes even more IMPORTANT during challenging times. It may seem like a pipe dream, but if we prioritize peace on our planet, we would experience the hypnotic warmth of empathy, grace, humanity, kindness, mercy, sympathy, and tenderness. (The picture below is one from a Library and not the one used in the origial post on Linkedin).

My response to the proposed question was:

Personally I do not think that the planet has forgotten the word Peace, it is the humans in the global world that have forgotten it to each others face to face and at a distance! If the world/planet is falling around us on deaf ears – denial of natures destruction, then some peoples may already be at self destruct! Perhaps they think what will an extra missile do to an already ravaged land?

Yet, most of the comments are about peace now, regarding the General Election in the USA! It is only the (having read them all!) posers answer in the end (posers meaning the person who asked the question initially) that they refer to peace of individuals with each other, then as a group, then a community etc etc.

I’m going to ask the question now – “What do you think Peace on Earth means?’
