Peace as a Seventh Language; Lifting the Embargo on Humanity

ByRichard Salzman

This is the sixth (and final) book in a series of books that represent my efforts to comprehend the language of peace. It's clear to me that as a child, I didn't acquire much fluency with peace as a first language. Thus, the first book of the series is entitled, Peace as a Second Language. Peace may never become my primary gestalt, but with enough study and patient practice, I may be able to apprehend the sound of its two-cents-worth clanking with some consistency into the bottom of my cup. As I understand it, the vocabulary of the language of peace consists of any and every situation where our big willingness to narrow meaning (and become exclusive) is transformed by a little willingness to broaden and deepen meaning (and become inclusive). The syntax of the language of peace is clarified with every and any effort we make to break down the mentalities that turn permeable or semi-permeable borders for exchange, into impermeable boundaries. (Thus, the embargo reference in the subtitles.)
