Middle East Violence

There are many points of views on the recent crisis of middle east violence. Well I am not so hot on caring for things that were out my reach, but here is my trace of thoughts when watching news and reading other's blog.

I think the source of violence at any level is disrespect. At street level, one bully thinks the other guys is just an asshole that doesn't respect him and want to show him why he should respect, so he beats him up. Of course, the other guy doesn't respect him and want to show that he should respect him. So the fight and street violence. At country level, there is little respect of people toward people in the other country, then the people in one country likes to show proof that other other country should respect them and vice versa, then they went to war.

Of course there is always economy reasons. But typically violence doesn't do good to economy. They cost huge in economy. So today's violence in middle east is mostly a war about respect.

I wouldn't say those country in war or terrorism is out of conscious control. When you think rightfully that you are gods non-equal son (the better one), then you would naturally think the other son should respect you and you would feel rightful to prove that you deserve the respect. And after conscious, logical, and reasonable postulation, beating the other son up is a logical choice.

It all starts with one's own disrespect to the others. And even you realize it, the disrespect of others under your subconscious is most difficult to conquer.

Back to middle east, how can we stop the violence in middle east when they are being disrespected?
