Vrede voorwaarts

Aantrekkingskracht rond verdeeldheid zaaiende onderwerpen zijn voor de meesten van ons te sterk om ons weg te houden van hardline meningen en overtuigingen. We schotelen ze voor: On the rocks - hou de nuance, alsjeblieft! Maar een gemeenschappelijke basis groeit in de nuance van onze gedeelde menselijkheid. Dus we moeten het proberen.

1:06 Nela2009 12
Pay peace forward

Opnieuw worden we geconfronteerd met maatschappelijke veranderingen en ons emotionele reservoir is tot aan het breekpunt gevuld.

Angst, onzekerheid, pijn, verdriet - een immens palet aan heftige emoties loopt zo hoog op nu we verdrinken in de nieuwsstroom over het conflict in Oekraïne.

En hoe ieder van ons ook getroffen is door de invasie; de meesten van ons proberen manieren te vinden om empathie, liefde en vrede te tonen. Ook op Jigidi. En daar gaat deze blogpost over. Want oorlogen zijn (ook) politiek.

Verdeeldheid is ellendig

Sommigen van jullie hebben al meegemaakt dat hun puzzels of opmerkingen over de oorlog door de richtlijnen van Jigidi werden gesnapt omdat ze politiek waren. Dit komt omdat politieke gesprekken, vooral online, de neiging hebben om in een oogwenk gepolariseerd en vervolgens verdeeld te raken. En de ervaring hiervan is ellendig.

Maar het belangrijkste op Jigidi is dat het leidt tot het tegenovergestelde van groei voor zowel het individu als de gemeenschappelijke basis. En dit zijn waarden die fundamenteel zijn voor al het werk op Jigidi. Hieraan moeten we trouw zijn, zelfs als het verkeerd voelt (omdat onze emoties ook op hol slaan).

Kies platforms die bij je doel passen

Op Jigidi hebben we ervoor gekozen om grote verdeeldheid zaaiende onderwerpen (waaronder politiek) uit te sluiten. We doen dit omdat we ons bewust zijn van de overweldigende aantrekkingskracht van deze polariserende onderwerpen - vooral online, waar we elkaar niet in dezelfde mate kunnen aanvoelen als in levende lijve.

Omdat we bij Jigidi verder gaan dan andere sociale platformen in hoe we de community inrichten, is het nodig om de do's en don'ts op Jigidi te leren kennen - en wat we met deze do's en don'ts beogen.

Alle platforms zijn niet geschikt voor dezelfde dingen omdat ze verschillende doelen hebben. Als je bijvoorbeeld wilt debatteren over politiek of religie, dan kun je op zoek gaan naar platforms waar dit een onderdeel is van de hoofdactiviteit, en die zijn voor die dienst opgezet.

We hebben hier in eerdere blogberichten al over geschreven. En als je dat nog niet hebt gedaan, hopen we dat je de tijd neemt om ze te lezen. Dit zal je helpen om door Jigidi te navigeren en concreet te worden over andere doelen die je misschien op andere platformen moet nastreven.

Stereotypen blokkeren het zicht

Destructieve gepolariseerde conflicten ontstaan wanneer we moe zijn, angstig zijn, ons onveilig voelen en wanneer ons emotionele reservoir gevuld is met harde, negatieve emoties en we geen uitlaatklep hebben die voldoende met deze emoties omgaat.

Gepolariseerde conflicten hebben de neiging om ons dieper te laten wegglijden in het hol van de harde opinie, waar het veranderen van perspectief ongewenst is en het andersdenkenden standaard is.

Als je uit de buurt blijft van triggerende onderwerpen, is er ruimte voor ons om elkaar te zien en naar elkaar te luisteren. In gepolariseerde debatten worden we zo gemakkelijk stereotypen voor elkaar. Zodra die stereotypen ontstaan, is er weinig of geen ruimte meer voor de werkelijke persoon.

Maar zijn er echt kanten aan deze zaak?

Het huidige conflict in focus lijkt allesbehalve een politiek verdeeld onderwerp. Want - hoe kan er nou een andere kant zijn?

Aan de oppervlakte van de publieke opinie lijkt het er misschien op dat die er niet is. Maar als het commentaar eenmaal begint te stromen en we wat dieper graven, komen agressie, beschuldigingen en stereotypen naar boven, samen met talloze min of meer verwante kwesties.

En achteraf zullen we waarschijnlijk minder geneigd zijn om met elkaar te communiceren, omdat we ons afvragen wat er net is gebeurd.

Of we gaan niet aan de slag als dat onze gebruikelijke reactie is op triggers. Maar hoe dan ook, we zullen waarschijnlijk merken dat we ons van elkaar terugtrekken, na een mentale notitie te hebben gemaakt van wat we net hebben gezien.

Hoe kunnen we op Jigidi reageren op de oorlog?

Wat moeten we op Jigidi met de overvloed aan heftige gevoelens die ons de oorlog in laten gaan?

We houden de touwtjes in handen en richten ons op het voeden en verspreiden van het tegengif: Nieuwsgierigheid, leren, perspectiefwisseling, vrede, respect, vriendelijkheid, hoop en liefde waarderen. Deze acties werken tegen agressie en geweld in en zullen de vrede vooruit helpen.

Meer concreet - op Jigidi:

  • Juich niet voor een partij, want dat is politiek. Juich in plaats daarvan voor waarden die je in dit verband wilt waarderen; waarden die tegenover agressie en geweld staan, zoals hoop, vrede, respect, liefde, perspectiefwisseling, empathie en feitelijkheid.
  • Vecht tegen de natuurlijke aantrekkingskracht op wie en wat op je lijkt en de (ook natuurlijke) afkeer van wat anders is dan jij. Dit kost focus en energie, maar hieraan prioriteit geven werkt tegengesteld aan agressie en geweld. Het verrijkt je met perspectief en doorbreekt uiteindelijk patronen van polarisatie.
  • Vecht tegen de natuurlijke drang om anderen en problemen waar we in de samenleving mee te maken hebben voortijdig te simplificeren. Zoom (ver) uit naar feiten voordat je inzoomt - en laat ruimte voor twijfel ♥

Op zoek naar mensen

Als je oefent in het tolereren en waarderen van mensen met andere overtuigingen dan de jouwe, leer je van hen omdat je luistert om te ontdekken welke ervaringen, waarden, zorgen en hoop hen motiveren en leiden in hun leven.

Als we onze strijd, vreugde en herinneringen delen buiten polariserende onderwerpen om, zullen we elkaar minder snel 'anders' vinden. We zien elkaar als medemensen en dus blijven we nieuwsgierig. En zullen we om elkaar geven.

Ja, soms neigen we naar de attractoren van polarisatie over specifieke onderwerpen omdat er op onze knoppen is gedrukt. Maar uiteindelijk trekken we ons terug omdat die weg nergens toe leidde - de diplomatieke, lerende weg wel. En we merken dat we een beetje meer op onze hoede zijn voor de dynamiek die op onze 'go'-knoppen voor gepolariseerd gedrag drukte.

Zo doen we dat elke dag. Sommige dagen zijn beter dan andere.

Laten we nu onze overvloed aan moeilijke emoties gebruiken om ons eraan te herinneren dat we het nog beter moeten doen. We moeten ons door de pijn laten leiden en motiveren om de destructieve patronen van polarisatie te doorbreken.

Vrede voorwaarts

Het is tegenstrijdig. Het emotionele reservoir van moeilijke emoties moet worden aangesproken als we niet in actie willen komen. En we willen dat ze ons eraan herinneren dat we ruimte moeten maken voor een kostbare rationele sturing van onze acties. Maar dit is hoe we kunnen bijdragen aan het lange spel en de wereld vooruit kunnen helpen in de richting tegenover agressie en geweld, omdat we allemaal deel uitmaken van en invloed hebben op verschillende sociale kringen.

We zien jullie dit elke dag doen op Jigidi en we hebben jullie nodig om dit vol te houden. We nemen jullie als voorbeeld.

Eindnoot

Net toen ik dit blogartikel aan het afronden was, kwam onze dochter huilend thuis van school. Een van haar schoolvriendinnetjes was er vandaag kapot van dat een geliefd familielid in Oekraïne gisteren door een bom is omgekomen. De bom sloeg in waar zij met haar familie woonde en terwijl de rest van de familie het overleefde, zij niet. Ze was 9 en volgende maand wordt ze 10.

Oorlog mag dan politiek zijn, de ervaring is zo menselijk.

Liefde en vrede,

Jigidi

I’ve been away from Jigidi for a short while and returned yesterday. I just read the above Blog and I’m so happy to read something that agrees with my heart. I ask blessings on you and thank you.

So well said..indeed, war is not part of human nature

Well said.

Very well said, thank you for your guidelines, and, sadness for a little girl and her family.

I have found a favorite puzzle presenter and I stay with the four puzzles that are posted. They are huge and it keeps my mind concentrating on putting each together. Sometimes I almost nod away, but stick with it until it is time to rest.
What is happening in Europe reminds me of the 1992 war and Sarajevo.
How my mother cried, here in America, tears and praying all will be safe and the war would stop. Eventually it did. War is such a racket. God Bless all of Europe. Thank you folks of jigidi. You keep me sane. April 4, 2022

Thank you for your very thoughtful comments....Why do so many of us go directly to Jigidi as the first thing we tackle? Because it is fun, challenging, and
energizing.

Thank you for your thoughtful and compassionate words.

Bubble

We come to Jigidi for different reasons but do have choices here guys.

Like mpp, I have no problem moving on if I don't like someone's comments.

The only thing I have a problem with are personal, offensive remarks which are not ok and it is Jigidi's perogative to remove them if complaints are made.

I wish you all a Happy, Peaceful 2022. (⁎❛⟠❛⁎)

twice you have removed my comments about loving the Russian populace as well as Ukranians, and pointing out that the invasion is the work of one autocrat. The Russian people have no reason to fight for peace and democracy if everyone is against them. You sign off "with love", seems like it is tainted with hypocrisy

MsPetersen

Thank you so much for this posting. And I must confess - tears came in my eyes when I read about the little girl - All my best hugs for the family and for all who suffers from the war

I use jigidi as an escape from the world we live in, so am more than happy to have it void of polarizing comments and rhetoric. Thank you, jigidi, for helping!

I'm saddened that it became necessary to post this warning again. Anytime there is a situation involving more than one person, there WILL be a difference of opinion, another viewpoint, something that challenges your values. How we handle these differences is important. Here, it's easy - just scroll past what you don't like. I'm grateful for these contrasts as it opens my eyes, adds spice to life, makes things interesting. However, if the guidelines say certain subjects are to be avoided, so be it.

I think a sore point with some is the inconsistent manner puzzles and comments are targeted. In this comment section alone, there are religious references, a restricted subject according to the guidelines.

We all come here for a reason of some sort. Some like to challenge each other, some like to see yet another post of the canals of Venice or a stranger's grandchildren. If we look hard enough, we can find offense in every puzzle. Try not to be one of them.

DanyHuda

Thank you, @Jigidi.
To those who complain and upset about it - You just didn't get it!
This not the place to voice your opinions of what is going on in Ukraine. There are many other sites to express your views. This a puzzle community, Jigidi is a place to have fun solving puzzles. You can find an appropriate forum to post your views and any facts you feel should be shared. Jigidi is not the place.

Well said. To me , ever since I joined ... this has been a bit of a "get away" for me. I can do puzzles and still keep an eye on any TV show and still have a nice relaxing time here on Jigidi.( have told many people about it)
Love the puzzles and people. Thank-you for such a great sight . I appreciate all the effort that I know you have put into it.

mostlycrystals

Thank you for this post. I have wondered why this site felt so safe and I agree, "Divisiveness is miserable".

sfaith

I agree this should definitely NOT be a place of side-taking! or pushing different agendas. I come here for calming. I truly believe there are a lot of lies swirling around and people get caught up without taking the time to look for the truth. Thank you.

Thanks so much for your kindness, integrity and creativity! You are my heroes! I discovered Jigidi soon after being diagnosed with a life altering medical condition. It has helped me to occupy my mind, to connect with kind people, to be in a creative space, to unwind, to find peace, to grow... Kia ora mō tō mahi, mō tō awhi! (Thank you for your work and your love ☮💜

Thanks for the reminder about our Jigidi guidelines. I am amazed at the thought and care that has gone into these. I feel that they are the reason that many of us continue to be part of this creative, kind, caring space. Thanks again.
Just one area that I have recently been struggling with is the idea of "tolerating other people's convictions". When their convictions disrespect others or lack any empathy and accomodation for others, I tend to withdraw. I am not comfortable around hate speech, selfish decision making etc . I am trying to maintain peace and spread peace - and I find it best for my overall well-being to be proactively surrounding myself with truth, love and kindness.

Jigidi is the only internet site I can trust to just give me a few moments of peaceful rest in the pleasure of solving a puzzle that will give me a pleasing picture that soothes or just brings a little sprit of joy. I didn't see the blog as a scold but as a reminder and representation of what Jigidi is and why it exists. In addition to all the strife in the world many if not most of us also have wrenching personal experiences to try to live with and continue to see hope and goodness in life. My heartfelt thanks to Jigidi and especially to my fellow puzzlers and those wonderful souls who make the puzzles for us. It means so much to be able to click on comments and know the conversation will be warm and friendly and no fear attack or anger. I'm not really looking to form friendships online anywhere--even here--but to know this is a community where one can visit without angst is precious. You all are a shining sliver of light in what sometimes seems like an ever darkening world.

Jigidi

Hi all,

Thank you all for being here; we read all your comments.

When we see societal changes that significantly impact the type of puzzles and comments posted on Jigidi, and they are problematic regarding our guidelines, we write a blog post to explain how this matter stands against our policies and how we can express ourselves on them on Jigidi within the guidelines.

We did this on the pandemic, Black Lives Matter and equal rights rising, and now on the invasion of Ukraine.

We realize that many of you aren’t aware of any political content on Jigidi and a blog post like this seems superfluous. We’re sorry for the confusion this may add to your daily business on Jigidi.

That said, we need to address a couple of things about the commentary on this blog post. This only applies to a minor selection of the comments here.

Firstly, this blog post is not an exception to our rules, but our rules applied
Our rules are focused on behavior and intent and are general. When we present these explanatory blog posts, they do not describe an exception to the rule; they describe the rules applied to a current scenario.

Secondly, respect our guidelines when commenting
It is required to respect Jigidi guidelines when you participate in the comments section on the blog also.

Emotions run high, but Jigidi is not where you can let loose and let go. Here you must consider the impact you make and express your opinion non-aggressively, respectfully, and refrain from othering your fellow puzzlers or us.

Taking what we write only to assign it new meaning and twist the points to have it better fit your narrative is unacceptable.

Thirdly, we are a framed community
As expressed in the blog post above, in our guidelines, and most other information pages on Jigidi, we are a framed community that chooses to exclude major divisive topics. This is not for all; therefore, we go to great lengths to be transparent about why that is and what it means concretely, so each puzzler can decide whether they want to be part of the Jigidi community.

Thank you all for being here.

Much love, Jigidi

ellengb

Perhaps my head is in the sand but when I come on Jigidi to post or to solve a puzzle I am not thinking of politics or war or prejudice. I am thinking only of a picture I consider pleasing. In my years here I have never to my knowledge thought about politics or noticed anyone else doing so. In fact, Jigidi is one of the few places on the Internet where I can leave such things behind and enjoy a relaxing pastime. I feel the entire blog is unnecessary and that I have somehow been scolded.

Keep it positive. We can get all the bad news on TV or radio. Add puzzles of beauty and peace and scenery from anywhere. Including Ukrain or other places in the world.

what is this for i am counfesd

Bluebonnet

@zut83 C'est terrible. Je suis vraiment désolé pour ta perte.

D'accord avec @NiagaraEH. Ici, nous trouvons notre bonheur à résoudre des puzzles, ce qu'on recherche, ce sont des moments de détente. J'ai perdu ma fille, il y a 4 mois et ce site m'aide à trouver des moments d'évasion salutaires. Si je veux me prendre la tête, je peux aller sur plein de médias mais pas sur jigidi!

A time and a place. This not the time or the place to voice your opinions of what is going on in Ukraine. There are many other sites to express your views. This a puzzle community. May the Almighty bring peace to the world.

The sunflowers cannot be censored.

@mypup :-)

KimKeikiPuzzles

I pray for PEACE and PROTECTION of ALL civilians caught in the crossfires of war. PERIOD!

People can have a difference in opinion, and still be respectful, censorship for any reason is still censorship, as has been started by better people than I, “I may not agree with what you say, but I would defend your right to say it”!!!

Nipper7

I'm not sure how to respod to your commment, youv've obviously gone to a lot of trouble wirh your answer, reed. :)

I love this site, but I'm with Lyricist. Just say it straight up,,,no puzzles or comments about the war in Ukraine...and skip the lecture.

mypup

I always assume that ANYTHING I type,
or click is monitored. There are many
outside places to explore friendships,
that are started here by just knowing
someone loves Airedale Terriers as
fiercely as you do. :)

Hismorts

It's just too sad for all those people to have to witness this first hand. It's wrong in so many ways.

Darklldo2

Well said, it is hard these days where communication of any sort is so available. I just love coming in here to do puzzles and, for a time, drop the worry about what is going on 'out there'. Puzzles are very calming :)

Lyricist

i find this post appalling. It would have shown more respect for the Ukrainian people suffering through these horrors, as well as for all others caught up in them, if you had simply said, "Due to the grievous nature of the ongoing events in Ukraine, Jigidi will not be accepting puzzles or comments directly and specifically pertaining to the war in Ukraine."

Then eschew the urge to rationalize and justify your position or to lecture the community.

Bluestockings

@rascalthecat Amen.

@Jigidi I understand the position you're in. You don't want discord on Jigidi. It can get ugly. But you do want us to form friendships, to form a community, and that's what a lot of us want too. But how can we form friendships and a sense of community if all we know about each other is that Bob is a dog person who likes fishing and Jane likes cats, knitting, and flowers? Especially now that we know you monitor private puzzles/conversations as well as public ones, so we cannot speak freely without fear of punishment, how can we form honest relationships?

mudwasp

Your comment is spot on @Robwout. I've loved coming to Jigidi for years and it very much helps me decompress.

rascalthecat

There are many wars going on right now, but the MSM refuses to cover them. They only cover and cheer for the ones that serve their masters' interests. People should have no opinions on things they know nothing about, especially opinions spoon fed to them. If your knowledge of the world comes through a glowing rectangle, you have no clue what it is that you don't know, and it is what you don't know that matters.

I agree with what you are saying. My greatest satisfaction is doing puzzles that show the beautiful homes in many countries. I especially appreciate the homes or villages which state and represent what country they are in. My husband has traveled to many places but never Europe, we are now at the age where we can't travel. Jigidi allows me to visit countries, see the lifestyles, of each. Thank you Jigidi for this opportunity. I never knew anything about Ukraine and its lifestyles. looking to be able to visit thru Jigidi and learn about more countries and the life of people.
Thank you, Jmvand,

JustPlainBob

Shhhhhhhh, ommmmm, jig saw puzzles.

imagia

Your site, your rules. I understand the need to avoid devisive topics. But I don´t understand why giving credit to Powell was okay and honouring Selenskyj is wrong. And that is not the only example. Is it "political" to post puzzles of politicians, or only of those who are - unvoluntarily - at war?

2lindy2

To old676ssg and patsquire, Jigidi is a place to have fun solving puzzles. As the post says, you can find an appropriate forum to post your views and any facts you feel should be shared. Jigidi is not the place. It's not about censorship, its about the setting.

old676ssg

I've read this 3 times now. I just want to say that failing to speak or support those in need is the same as being or supporting an aggressor. Being not allowed to speak is censorship.

There is nothing to add, I would like most people to think (and act) like that ...

Love, peace, and happiness to everyone.

sillychick

In spite of what goes on or what I go through I am a very Happy & Contented person. I try 2 change what I can & what I can't change, I Pray & leave in God's hands. Most everyone says "Pray for this or Pray for that (now it is the Ukranians/Russians) Why are we not Praying in advance 4 all Good things & 4 Peace?

JamaLlama

@firstdawn, don't watch the news if it makes you feel helpless & angry...that is what the media likes 2 do ;)

puzzledarth

Thank you for voicing these important concepts.

Pray for peace for all

I'm so glad that just I stumbled onto this site. I watch the news every morning hoping things are becoming positive. I'm feeling helpless and angry.

Heartbreaking. So sorry for your daughter's loss and the loss of so many others. Others includes persons on both "sides" of the conflict.

grannny

Thank you for your very thoughtful message.

eleanor_de

Thank you for this thoughtful, well-written post, and the prevailing attitude of jigidi in general.
I have met many curious and open-minded people here, and I enjoy this site every day. Today, I am reminded that this is more than just a place to do puzzles - because you want it to be more, and because the majority of the community appreciates that. I am grateful.
Thank you, jigidi!

jeromevandrews

We all wish we could do something to end suffering. Many of us would confront the evil and end it, but cannot. It is that sense of powerlessness that I find so frustrating. Then, ironically, I feel agression and anger arising within me and replacing the compassion I felt. And so the mandala turns. Even would-be "good" people can do horrible things.

Invading and bombing a country whose behavior is peaceable is patently evil. Long before Homer wrote the Iliad, answering evil with evil created, at best, a temporary cease fire to prepare the next act of vengance. If there is something that I can do to stop this cycle, it sadly eludes me. Whatever we might force on people won't help and the sources of evil are many and multifarious. For every new generation the future is big with possibilites for both good and evil, but our track record is poor. Lions kill to eat. We have additional motives.

Thank you, Jigidi. I appreciate so much what you said and how you said it. What's happening in Ukraine is so heartbreaking and frustrating. It's easy to get into angry thinking and words aimed at whoever/whatever I perceive as the evil-doer. But that feeds the negative pot. I start most days doing a Jigidi puzzle that I pick for its beauty and color. It cuts through the stress and opens up a softer place. Everyday there's another thing I can do -- take in and feel the pain people are suffering in Ukraine, and send back peace and love to them.

Linda0216

Thank you for providing a peaceful escape from world issues.
I so appreciate the respite!

Very well stated.

If you want a world without wars, this is only possible when we listen to each others' concerns and respect them. It's only possible when we do not demonize other nations or subvert their interests. The current situation exists because a lot of this has been going on for years, and there is plenty of blame to go around. When an innocent civilian dies, who caused this? The person who dropped the bomb? The people who put military targets among neighborhoods? The invading nation? The generals? The political leaders? The diplomats who failed to listen? The three-letter agencies who overthrow and subvert foreign governments? There's a lot going on here. Don't hate. When you hate, you escalate and perpetuate and multiply the suffering. Instead understand what brings peace and what causes war.

Very well stated!

Bubble

I see both sides of the coin here. While we all enjoy getting away from the real world and visiting Jigidi, the outrages going on in Ukraine from Russia are overwhelming and invading our lives as well emotionally if not physically.

Its hard not to comment when you feel so angry and frustrated, but as you say there are other platforms out there.

Thank you guys for posting - hope your daughter is coping with the awful news.

jerrys

Well stated.

szootman

I come here to get away from the craziness. It gets very frustrating to read online and see pictures of whats going on in the world and you know what you reading is BS. It's like bizaro land where everything is the opposite of what it really is. Good is evil and Evil is good. You look for news and all you find is fraudulent narrative building articles full of falsehoods .

solidrock5806

What can I add to what is allready said? Thanks for this side which is an antidepressing. Keep it like it is. God bless you all on jigidi. I`m not perfect, the more I try the less I am.....

Jumble

As well as counselling the children need support and lots and lots of love.♥

Robwout

Many of us enjoy solving puzzles as it takes our mind off situations in our lives that frustrate and even depress us. That's what makes Jigidi so enjoyable. Going by the comments I've received I can tell that people have enjoyed my puzzles and I have tried to voice my appreciation on puzzles that I have solved. Perhaps we should say "A Jigidi puzzle a day keeps the blues away". Thanks Jigidi. Regards - Rob.

Jumble

Thank you.
I wish I could do more to support the people of Ukraine, sitting in my home watching the news, I feel so helpless when I see what they are going through for no fault of their own. The surviving children will need counselling, though they will never forget. Let's hope the war is over soon. God bless them all. ♥

Thanks to you, Jigidi for your post. For many years now I have kept myself happy and alert with working on puzzles. I love the opportunities you give us to work with many colours, designs, and subjects that come to mind whilst completing a puzzle.

A HUGE thank you for posting this and making this community. I have love in my heart for you, and all of us.

Děkuji za Jigidi, je to oáza klidu v této době. Jsem ráda, že jsem v této komunitě.
