INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY

<a href="http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/view-image.php?image=4510&picture=word-peace-in-sand">Word Peace In Sand</a> by Petr KratochvilToday is 21 September 2012 – INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY.  The hope is that, by linking together through the Internet, through prayer, through meditation or simply through mindfulness, we can shift the global mindset from confrontational to co-operative.

John Lennon said it best, all those years ago, when he sang “Imagine” – “…You may think I’m a Dreamer, but I’m not the only one.  Maybe one day you’ll join us, and the world will be as one!”

Do I truly believe it’s possible to have World Peace?  Yes, I really do! 

It’s in the hands of each and every one of us.  It’s in our response to irritations and frustrations.  It is in our reactions to stressful situations, and to things we do not understand or agree with.  Even Michael Jackson had the right idea when he sang: “If you want to make the world a better place take a look at 犀利士
yourself and make the change
!”

What I know for sure is that all that it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing! I have seen for myself how more and more good people are getting involved, taking action and signing petitions for the good of the world as a whole.  I believe that there are more of us who care than those of us who don’t. We must lead by example!

I believe that education is our best weapon against the prejudice and discrimination which is often at the root of conflict.  Our best hope for World Peace is to teach our children that fundamentally, we’re all the same.  We all have the same dreams and desires …. the most basic one being the need to be loved unconditionally and to be respected as a person!

I believe that, if you love your children unconditionally,  that will give them the self-confidence to love others unconditionally too! 

On this special day … and all the days that follow …. let’s just spread the love!

What do you think, each of us in our own small way, can do to foster Peace around the world?
