The best form of meditation is to just allow everything to be as it is, without trying to manipulate or control your experience. This is also the best form of foreign policy. The path to world peace is the same as the path to inner peace: just quit trying to control everything.
"But-but-but if we don't control the world, the world will be out of our control!" is the most common objection to anti-interventionist foreign policy. It's also the mind's most common objection during meditation.
We've all got a miniature John Bolton living in our head assuring us that the world is a hostile place which we must bring to heel by any means necessary. As within, so without: we will know peace when we finally rid ourselves of the John Boltons.
