Anyone who wants a world of peace is welcome to contribute.

People of all races, cultures, religious and non religious backgrounds must learn to accept each other and live with one another for lasting peace to be achieved - This group is designed to encourage constructive interaction between all of the different groups throughout the world and be:

United for Peace.

 

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." - Robert F Kennedy


There are some guidelines to follow when contributing to this group. 

Contributions should be without anger and blame.  Peace cannot be achieved if we have anger in our hearts and continue to place blame on others.

However please by all means express your opinions and concerns.  Just follow the simple guidelines: Criticise the action, not the perpetrator; criticise the argument and not the person making the argument and criticise the policy and not the politician. As Gandhi said,

"Hate the sin and love the sinner."


United for Peace is based on the simple notion that lasting peace begins in the hearts and minds of us all. It is simple mathematics to realise that peace in our thoughts, prayers and meditations translates into peace in the world. While there is still anger and hate within and between us, then somewhere it will have to be vented, and so there is conflict and war.


By taking personal responsibility for war we stop laying blame
and getting angry (contributing to more war!) and accept that we are all accountable to start changing the world consciousness beginning with ourselves. Each peaceful action makes a lasting change for peace in the world, and eventually government leaders and lasting political change will follow.  -  World  Peace


Some final words of wisdom:


"If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
" - Ancient Chinese Proverb


"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito." - Dalai Lama


"I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there." – Mother Teresa.

 

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." – Martin Luther King Jr.

"Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love." – Martin Luther King Jr.
