One could try and exercise forgiveness, nonviolence and "Entfeindungsliebe",f.e. inspired by the following buddhist exercise: Imagine yourself as a child, protected and carried by eternal parental love, become confident in this experience and feel accepted and precious, relax. Then, only then, imagine your enemy beeing a child, a person like you, in need, fragile, longing for protection and love and keep him or her on your knees like a caring parent. I find it very challenging, at the same time experience that the power of change can start within you.

Only if we deeply understand what went wrong in the past, what has lead to those situations, can we prevent them from happening again. And also only by learning and studying causes, consequenses, side-effects, repercussions can we start to try and heal the wounds. like a doctor, you can't start a treatment without making your diagnosis first. Same logic applies.

It is very hard, but I think this is the only solution: do not start any new wars and end the current ones.
