The Lost Discord presents a provocative, wide-ranging exploration of conflict’s effects on humanity, paired with a visionary alternative perspective: a world in which peace was never lost. Through real-world case studies, imagined societies, and philosophical reflection, the book confronts historical wounds and invites readers to envision what could exist in their place .
Conflict arenas examined include genocide, terrorism, ideological division, and digital warfare. The narrative then shifts toward empathy, forgiveness, and trauma healing, envisioning peaceful alternatives and pathways forward.
War, division, trauma: The author examines how conflict and ideological fragmentation scar communities and shape cultures.
Peace as possibility: The central speculative premise considers what might have unfolded had humanity avoided violence altogether.
Restorative reflection: Through essays and case studies, Rifat encourages readers to face difficult truths and pursue unity over division.
Call to action: The narrative closes as more than a reflection—it’s an appeal to action, inviting individuals to live with greater empathy and justice.
Organization: The book is structured into 23 chapters, depthfully probing historical trauma and hypothetical peace-building scenarios.
