Why Consider Peace At All?
This past Remembrance Day the thought of considering Peace for two minutes every day for the next year exploded inside me. Remembrance Day comes and goes and life goes on with it's beauty and its conflicts. While I know how important it is to acknowledge and honour all our veterans across the globe (not just in North America), I couldn't help but think, "This is not enough." Hence this blog was born. I simply could not ignore the voice from deep within. Disputes and conflicts may be inevitable, but violence is not. Violence is a choice. I want to take this little 5 letter word and make it the biggest 5 letter word ever. Our "enemies" change with each new conflict, so are they really our "enemies"? I think not.

I think you hit the nail on the head...it's all about RESPECT and our lack of it for other people that leads to WAR. If you treat others with respect, perhaps you will get some in return. If you don't, then be the bigger person and walk away. PEACE is not a four letter word, let's not treat it as such. Let us treat it with RESPECT.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, let's treat it with RESPECT.
