Well, that is a tall order. imo, the responsibility for peace
  rests with you, Kris. It rests with me. It rests with RJ and
  anybody who wishes it. Without a sense-of-peace-towards-others
  within yourself, how could one be in a position to show others
  the way or expect them to follow? You have to have it first.
  Then you can educate others in its practice. It's not that you
  can't get things done without it. But it will be fractured
  effort. === Sympathy can work as well but consider sympathy vs
  empathy at an extreme: A war-like effort towards peace that is
  driven by sympathy lacking empathy will more likely lead to more
  war rather than peace. That, of course, is an extreme but I'm
  using it as an example of how I'm thinking here. === Consider:
  "I demand that YOU initiate peace or else [insert threat]" It is
  a war-like move. It will likely result in a war-like response.
