An opinion about peace

Sometimes it strikes me how I don't really understand anything at all.

...what anything is, means, sounds like, taste like and where the one is who is supposed to be me. I'm just clueless about everything, and that also brings a great wonder. Think about a new born baby. There are no preconceived notions or judgements. Everything is instinct, automatic, without any idea about something being precisely that, instinct or automatic.

Later on in life more and more experience and information is built up so that you will be able to function in this reality. It's a necessity. But it's forgotten that all information, ideas, concepts etc are secondary and that they are not the true identity. Who where you before any words where written in the book of you? What was a color before you knew anything about it?

And then I turn on the TV and see politicians arguing about who's right and who's wrong, religious people arguing about who the true God is, and then there are holy wars, fighting, bullying and on and on it goes. People are acting like they know better than their fellow human being and that this gives them the right to act like they are superior. There are unlimited amounts of concepts, ideas and details that you can stare at until your eyeballs pop out of your head… and then people are using all these things to build some kind of synthetic identity and hence separation between human beings occur. I might be naive, but if it was the common experience among people that we are all one and the same source, that comes before any of all these secondary concepts, ideas etc....then maybe this planet would be a better place.
