Not all, but there are many in power today who see themselves as guardians of peace around the world. Their idea to secure world peace is through the exercise of military might to displace leaders in their own countries they find to be repugnant. Their approach is diametrically opposed to that of Christ Who triumphed over Evil through sacrificial love for those who deserve none: they act collectively as judge, jury and executioner, just as Satan judges all sinners to be undeserving and wants to send them all to Hell. [1] These self-righteous and supposedly "peaceful minded" people justify their actions by looking at themselves, not in front of a mirror because a mirror reflects both what is beautiful and what is ugly, but through denials and rationalizations of their ugly truths.
People can live in denial all they want as long as they are in the flesh, but once the flesh is gone, the mechanisms that fuel the denials in the mind no longer work, then what passes through it is the Truth, reaching all the way back and all the way forward, beginning and ending with God. It is the Truth that torments for eternity and there is no escape from It.
God does not expect man to stand before a mirror and see only beauty and perfection, but to also see all of his defects and ugliness reflected back in the hope that he has sufficient humility to ask God for help in transforming himself to be like Christ. Despite the countless times man necessarily falls short because of Sin, he sees at the end of his journey the living Christ on the cross, Whose suffering and death have redeemed him. Then it would be up to man, the sinner, to show his love for God and his desire to be with God to activate God's unconditional love that has been waiting for him all along. [2]
[1] Satan is never the executioner. Satan never has to kill because Satan uses man's sinful nature to have man kill one another. By doing so, Satan has steadily been able to transform earth into Hell.
[2] God created man and waits for man to return to his Creator. It is not for any man on earth to judge, let alone kill another because he thinks he is better. Let it be clear, no man is in the absolute sense better than any other man. If man sees each other as enemies, then man has fallen into Satan's continuous loop of conquer and revenge that thrives in a state of distrust and disdain, leaving many in distress and despair.
