My real answer to this question would likely be scoffed at and ridiculed by all, so anyone who feels they might suffer harm from an honest and different perspective should not read beyond this sentence.
I think the peace prize is not about who can pass the most rainbows from their arse, but who is getting their hands dirty to make peaceful objectives more attainable. I think this year it should be Kim Jung Un.
North Korea has been an ass pain on this planet for decades. Many people have lost their lives over the flea bite.
Kim has made mistakes, big boomy ones, and little headache ones, but I think he sees that there is a big old world around him, and that his country is not viewed as a desirable neighbor.
I think he is at a loss how to transition his country, and the lives of all those people, without effing up the whole deal.
I think political figures have represented to him over his life a long line of lies, greed, and tyranny. He wants more, but feels he is not taken seriously on the world stage.
Whatever wrongs he may have committed, he has reached out like none of his family before him. He wants to try. I think he wants to clean up his yard without the neighbors whispering and laughing. I think it would require strong convictions to face what he is, and will face. I think if the peace prize is going to be used as a popularity award, it’s purpose is defeated already. It needs to buck the traditional ideas of popularity, or turning the other cheek. To have any value, it needs to go to someone who is not afraid to risk a little body odor to right what has been previously wrong, even if they don’t see results before they die.
There. I said it.
