A Whole New World

Sometimes we want to change the world but we don’t always want to change ourselves. We live in a world that responds to violence with a riot; we hope to end gun violence by owning a bigger weapon.

But this myth of redemptive violence, this spiral of violence gone viral, will not succeed. It might change the next second but it will not change the system. It might make you feel good for a moment but it will not make a difference forever.

The opposite of war isn’t just peace, but creation. We don’t want to just swap perpetual war with momentary peace. We want to – we need to create a whole new world. We need to change the system.
