Interesting question -- I think the answer may be that self-0rganizing systems appear in the dance between chaos and order on the way to peace. It is a journey. We are not there yet.  And I suspect that when we get there the journey will be over. In the meantime we can open a little space to assist the journey. At least that is what makes sense to me here in Israel where there seems to be very little peace.
