UNTIL ALL ACHIEVE WELL-BEING

Welcome! This web site is devoted to grappling with the inequity found around the globe.  Specifically it is felt that the rubric of "well-being" provides the most encompassing framing for a more hopeful future.  The primary focus for response is the First World, which is the author's world - what we can do to make an impact that helps to nudge life along.

HISTORY, ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY ON DARFUR, SUDAN (Updated: May, 2023):
The following link probes deeper than the standard script regarding the dynamics of Darfur.  It follows the basic adage that the closer our perception of reality, the better our chances of a decent outcome.  It peels back one layer (there are more) to better anchor our understanding and strategies for bringing an end to the suffering in Darfur and to allow the people of Darfur to determine their own future, rather than being a doormat for others' agendas.

     Anchoring our Views and Actions Regarding Darfur.

 

PEACE, JUSTICE AND THE ISSUE OF MENTAL HEALTH (January, 2014):
The topic of mental health is usually considered a medical and/or counselling issue.  This essay argues that it is quite squarely a peace / justice issue.  While dynamics slowly may be changing, most people feel the stigma of the label and are often marginalized.  Further,  war and violence can lead to mental health issues.  This essay provides anchoring affirmations as it sketches the terrain and challenges that swirl around this issue in the 21st century with advances from neuroscience to epigenetics.

REFLECTIONS ON TERRORISM (August, 2005)
:
The following is an essay by Farah Jamal, who did some internship work to start to probe the current conversation on terrorism. As such it was only possible to skim the surface of issues. Her basic conclusion is that in the short-term terrorism works, and the solution is not a "war on terror." Rather the underlying causes must be identfied and addressed and that includes allowing voices with legitmate grievance to be a conversation partner among the world power brokers.
