평화의 세 가지 차원

나는 우리가 세 가지 차원에서 평화를 만들어내고, 

각각의 차원에서 평화를 만드는 방법을 우리 모두 알았으면 합니다.

첫째, 우리 자신 안에서의 평화입니다. 

예를 들어, 우리가 완벽하지 않을 때 어떻게 우리 자신과 평화로울 수 있는지 아는 것입니다.

어떻게 하면 자신을 탓하거나 벌하지 않고 우리의 한계로부터 배울 수 있을까 하는 것입니다.

만약 그렇게 할 수 없다면, 우리가 어떻게 세상과 평화롭게 관계 맺을 수 있을지 모르겠습니다.

둘째, 사람 사이에서의 평화입니다. 비폭력대화는 자신 안에서 평화를 만들면서,  

동시에 자연스럽게 우러나는 연민으로 다른 사람들과 연결하는 방법을 보여줍니다.

셋째로, 우리의 사회시스템에서 평화입니다.

우리가 만들어낸 구조들, 즉 정부 구조와 기타 구조들을 살펴보면서,

그것들이 우리 사이의 평화로운 연결을 돕는지 보고, 그렇지 않다면 그 구조들을 변화시키는 것입니다.

I would like us to create peace at three levels and have each of us to know how to do it.

First, within ourselves. That is to know how we can be peaceful with ourselves when we're less than perfect,

for example. How we can learn from our limitations without blaming and punishing our self.

If we can't do that, I'm not too optimistic how we're going to relate peacefully out in the world.

Second, between people. Nonviolent Communication training shows people how to create peace within themselves

and at the same time how to create connections with other people that allows compassionate giving to take place naturally.

And third, in our social systems.

To look out at the structures that we've created, the governmental structures and other structures,

and to look at whether they support peaceful connections between us

and if not, to transform those structures.
