Food for thought
"Situating the peace on this level is tantamount to heightening the debate. This is incontestable. But it is normal. A people cannot live for a long time with its eyes riveted upon the radar screens of its territorial surveillance or upon the statistical charts of its economists. All this is important but remains in the order of means. Beyond the means of living arises the question of the reasons for living: for perosns, but also for nations and for the entire human race. And this is a question of culture -- that is to say, a spiritual question."
