Harmony
Combination or adaptation of parts, elements, or
related things, so as to form a consistent and orderly whole; agreement, accord, congruity. Agreement of feeling or sentiment;
accord, peace. Oxford Dictionary
What usually passes for harmony in the world is a begrudging agreement
to obey a set of ethics, morals or laws in order to keep the basic aggressive and selfish instincts under control. Given the
glaring lack of harmony evident in humans both individually and in their interactions with each other, these band-aid solutions
are seen to be mere coping methods to curb and limit the damage of the ‘disease’ rather than offer a permanent cure. The only
way a genuine harmony is possible is to remove the source of the problem – the ‘I’ that is lost, lonely, frightened and
very, very cunning and, as such, intrinsically incapable of anything remotely resembling harmony.
There can only be a genuine, actual peace on earth when humans eliminate instinctual
malice and sorrow – the very source of war and hostility – from within themselves. Nothing less than the total eradication of
all feelings and emotions – the whole passionate construct of beliefs of good and evil, right and wrong and the primitive
animal-instinctual programming of fear and aggression, nurture and desire – will suffice to bring personal and global peace. If
this is deemed to be ‘throwing the baby out with the bath water’, then so be it – all else has failed to bring anything
other than a pretence of peace to this fair planet.
