And no, I'm not participating in a pageant...
I just want the world to be a better place for my child.
So as we strive for World Peace, start in your heart, in your home, in your workplace, in your car (be nice and control the road rage), in your school (that's for my Chicklet), at the market, ...
and maybe it'll catch on.
If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.
-- Lao Tzu (570-490 B.C.)
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.

There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.

Oh, I love that peace symbol.
You're right that it starts within us. We need to stop viewing others as enemies.
I wonder if that's possible. I hope so.
Imagine.....

Charles, I love it too. Peace is so much prettier than war.
Brian, it's not as monumental a task as people think it is. It starts in our hearts.
Cooper, I like people with imagination. (Isn't it?!)
It's hard not to be pessimistic. I sometimes think our behavior is based on population, that as we increase there are instinctual behaviors that kick in to bring things under control. Talk about nihilistic, eh? And sometimes I think that peace is something quite personal and doable.
I think we all have to want to do our part, even in response to those who only seem to want to shout and stomp and throw tantrums.
Peace - we live in hope.
I always feel peaceful when I think of my kiddo and her chicklet :)
Happy Peace Day!
