Considering all the wars bloodying the world, which are the paths that will lead us to peace? Is peace a possible goal? Our world is difficult to understand. We are surrounded by information. Sometimes we have the feeling of being scattered in a complex and incomprehensible horizon. Be aware does not necessarily mean understanding, most of the times it means confusion. Being disoriented, we start to feel powerless and we become indifferent: we lose interest. In the past, the political ideologies divided the world between “friends" and "enemies", today we use emotions to read our reality. It is called the "geopolitics of emotions”, mentioned by the french political scientist Dominique Moïsi, and it rules the new populism wave and the many protests around the world. In this essay the author, founder of the Sant'Egidio Community and formerly foreign minister of Italy, analyzes the causes of today's confusion in facing and judging the wars that are bloodying our world, the possible ways to build peace and the language of peace compared to the language of war. His question is deep and honest: is it really possible to have peace in the world?
