Can be a circle a square?

Sometimes, we need how to change a circle in a square.

It is very easy a position against the use of violence if you are with satisfied stomach, heart or soul. But it is no easy if you don't have hope, dreams, food, justice, peace. Now, we have huge conflicts (more than 100 in the last 20 years) in our world and not only Iraq. Some forgotten conflicts like those from Sudan, Somalia, Colombia, remains for most than ten years. It is clear to me that the sources of violence are poverty, lack of justice and lack of human rights. but it is clear to me that there are flagrant abuses of human rights that need an action. It is difficult to know when and how act in extremely circunstances.

Sometimes, we need know how to change a square in a circle.

And it is not easy. It has been a mathematic issue in our history and it seems not to be posible. For a square be a circle must loose their edges, round them little by little and by this way become a circle. It is the same if you think in circle-to-square transformation. We must trade off to solve our conflicts, doing sustaintable agreements and, if not, using ways of doing strong actions to avoid more violence.

It is difficult but we have to reframe ourselves and know that it could be: a square can be a circle.
