New World ( Part 1)
In this context, we can deduce that the word "NEW" is about something fresh, which is not heard of, something that is modern. We shall examine thoroughly the concept of new world to determine the possibility.
New world is a place where people can dwell in unity without the fear of the unknown. I have heard people complain and say, what kind of world do we live in, some said it's just like hell, others said it's worse than hell. All these made my imaginations high and unbelievable. Could we have another better world where people can stay and be fulfilled? Could their be a perfect world that will be free from worries? Could there be a great world where people won't be afraid of the next minute? Could there be a world where people can live in peace with each other? I kept asking these questions until I got the answer which is "YES" a new world is a possibility but the choice is left for us. No doubt things may not have been working the way we expected, One good thing that keeps me going is that their is always light at the end of the tunnel. There may be lots and lots of things going on wrong now, one thing is sure better days are coming. This brings us to the aspect of sacrifice. Their is a need for sacrifice, a need to give up some pleasures just for the sake of others around us. When we go extra miles in the quest for peace and unity, the objective can be achieved.
One important thing is who will be brave enough to take the lead in the pursuit of peace. I believe that when everyone's priority is based on living together, it makes it a lot more easier for peace to be attained. There are things to do for the reality of a new world. We will be exploring two vital points in this section.
Point A
Love; I know you may think of philia love also known as affectionate love Lol, it's not a bad thing to think of though. We will explore generally Agape love which is a selfless love. As we know, love does not hurt, does not hate and does not think evil. When we stay together in love, it's a stepping stone to actualizing a new world. Love is unconditional, it brings about trust, when you love, you are at peace and comfortable with others. Love does not fight, it does not speak ill of another. It makes one go an extra mile to please people. Bringing new world in this context of love, we will find out that for the new world to be a reality, we should develop true and selfless love for others.
Point B
Forgiveness; This may not be so easy for some people but it's worth it. When a new world is our aspiration we learn to forgive constantly. Forgiveness is the ability to let go or the ability to forgive an offense and the offender. When forgiveness is in view, a new world is attained. Some people believe in retaliating, it's wrong because in the process, so many negative things can come up, but in order to avoid them, forgiveness shouldn't be an option but a MUST. Someone rightly said that he has an "advance forgiveness" meaning he had already forgiven the offense right before the act. How many people can do likewise? It may be difficult but it's really a giant stepping stone to a new world.

To forgive an offender who does not repent, what do you think of that? Not an option?
You know when you forgive someone your mind will be at rest. It really feels good to forgive. If the person does not repent, I suggest you keep on forgiving. Someday he's going to realize his faults and quit offending you.
But, you may have died by then. Tolerance of victimization, in my experience, is often viewed as cowardness, even if it is not. Turning the table around let's the other understand what you are going through. Good communication is important and can help the other, I would think. Being passive in the face of abuse can be wise in some circumstances. But fighting back bad behavior helps the assailant understand there may be something wrong with what he or she does. And the exercise you get in fighting back may be better for your health more than just taking the abuse and not risking any escalation. To me, one should use one's own judgement here.
Most problems can be resolved by tolerance. One should not create an impression harshly. Issues can be resolved without a fight. To be a peacemaker, one should have a good sense of judgement.
For many people and groups of people a fight is the way to resolve the issues. They are supremassists. How do you argue against that? For many people, you get peace once everyone that disagree with them has been neutralized or put away. I'm glad you concede that not all problems can be solved by tolerance. I congratulate you for tackling this difficult subject.
