The governance of human affairs is messy business and has been from the beginning of written history. So much struggle for power and control over others and their property has dominated the scene.
The best way to live peacefully, for governance to be peaceful, is for “every man to love his neighbor as himself, that there should be no contention among them.”
Our leaders today would do their people well to follow this principle, yet many don’t because they love themselves more than others.
Ultimately it is incumbent on each of us individually to love others as much as ourselves. Doing that and also electing people to positions of governance who live this way would change the normally messy governance of human affairs to peace.
