I think he points out a fundamental problem that spans nearly all current conflicts and struggles. The fact that we as a race are at a point in time where we are unwilling and ignorant by choice in facing the real underlying problems which cause such unnecessary expressions of violence.
Everything is interlinked so there cannot be a quick or easy solution and if there was, then it definitely would not be in the form of violence because that only feeds the cyclical nature of conflict. We cannot look at long-term or short-term solutions, we must look at lasting ones if we want to have any chance of coexisting in this world together and together with this world.
Great article, totally what I was looking for.
Glad it helped!
