Whither World Peace
Continuity and Change
An humanitarian view of challenges to life in a national and
international scenario is needed today. Humanity cannot
survive without the twin values of truth and nonviolence even
for an instant. Despite this self-evident facet of our lives, we
humans are akin to go for massive and diabolical violence and
ever new inventions towards creating newer weapons of mass
destruction on public fronts, and in national and international
politics. This is a great paradox.

Ariadnae‟s Thread!
Search for New Modes of Thinking
Mary E. Clark has pointed out in her aforesaid voluminous
work published in 1989 that the more the world is trying to
unfold the ball of thread of complex life the more it is getting
engulfed in its own web – maybe the result of pejorative
„effectives‟ of modern technology and information science.

Recurring Patterns in Relationships
Instances of Spellings, Human Behaviour and Politics of Peace
1. “Floccinaucinihilipilification”, “Anent”, “Perspectives”, “Principal”,
“Principle”, “Infringement”, “Implication”, “International” etc.
2. Different routine and exceptional patterns at different levels of
life and formation of words in any language.
3. Indian example of politics of peace in creation of Bangladesh and
the Jamaican context of an army-less country.
4. These are diversified, recurring and different patterns.
5. Deciphering these patterns of recurring peace amidst conflicts
and wars is necessary.
6. This deciphering may lead to a new, more meaningful and
effective theory of peace-building the world over.

Nature of Cooperation and Conflict in Homo sapiens
As if the Twins shall Never Meet!
Existing functional nature of human relations treats
cooperation and conflict as two parallel lines always moving
ahead in their own straight jacket pattern never even criss-
crossing one another.
Cooperation and conflict are not such parallel lines in human behaviour.
These are like twins always mutually acting, interacting, inter-mingling
together and influencing each other without ever meeting one another.
