Obama talks about 7 sources of global tension. He talks about religious faith and in particular Islam. He talks about nuclear proliferation. He talks about world democracy. He talks about Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Israel and the Palestinian. He talks about violence, Taliban, al-Qaeda and the Hamas. That is how Obama perceives world peace which he categorically said as a real threat.I have another view point on global peace. It is about the 7 places of tension and can be regarded as a very localised and internalised and situational to ones age and consciousness. The places are: dwelling house of family and internet, schools and developing the tender mind, universities and the discoveries, the dollar and cents in the malls and supermarkets, place of work with career expansion and expression, place of prayer and meditation, hospitals and clinics, place of games and recreation, and place of living an old age. Each and every place mentioned has its own sensitivities that are not well understood by the dweller, occupant, and the participant.
Obama, in a way is right in espousing the 7 sources of tension. If it allows to happen, we will be losing the very fundamental right of human needs and wants. Do we want a chaotic world and a chaotic life? The answer is in you and me.
