THE PRECARIOUS NATURE OF GLOBAL HARMONY AN EXISTENTIAL PREOCCUPATION

Abstract

This article addresses the precarious state of world peace and emphasizes the need for collective action to ensure its permanence and sustainability. The introduction highlights the prevalence of violence, crime, wars, injustice, disasters, poverty, and social disorder, underscoring the constant threat to human life and the absence of a day without distressing news. The paper explores the concept of peace in its various dimensions, including international relations, internal conditions within countries, societal interactions, and individual well-being. It argues that peace should not be limited to the absence of war but should encompass constructive, just, and democratic elements. The article, therefore emphasizes that achieving world peace is a shared responsibility. It calls for the eradication of violence, war, injustice, aggression, poverty, and the lack of respect for life. By fostering inner peace, love, tolerance, liberty, justice, and solidarity, humanity can collectively work towards achieving the long-desired goal of world peace.
