ABOUT PEACE TO ALL HUMAN BEING
* Peace is not merely the absence of war and hatred (negative peace / cold war) but also the presence of cooperation, compassion and worldwide justice (positive peace / hot peace).
* The means we use to reach our ends are extremely important. Hopefully your "means" are kindness-centered and non-destructive. Often (possibly always) being kind is more important than proving you are right. When it is critical that you prove your point, remember to intertwine wisdom with compassion. Recent events would suggest that the human race is starting to learn that change can be achieved more effectively by mass demonstrations and peaceful means than by negative, destructive and hateful means.
* "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." - Mahatma Gandhi
* "There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered." - Nelson Mandela
* "Change your thoughts and you change your world." - Norman Vincent Peale
* “We are not disturbed by what happens to us, but by our thoughts about what happens to us.” - Epictetus
* "It is not possible to be in favor of justice for some people and not be in favor of justice for all people." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
* "One hour's meditation on the work of the Creator is better than seventy years of prayer." - Muhammad
* "Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God." - Diana Robinson
* I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of your being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world. - Tao Te Ching: 67
* "I have come to realize that people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." - Abraham Lincoln
* “Asked, Who is the rich man? Epictetus replied, He who is content.”
* A wise person creates a harmony between the head, the heart, and the body. In this harmony comes the revelation of the source of one's life, the very center, the soul. - OSHO
* The doorways to the realm of heaven (Brahma) are right here on earth and they are four in number: we enter the highest heavenly abodes through loving kindness (metta), compassion (karuna), sharing joy (muditha), and equanimity (upekkha). It is through service in this world, not by abandoning this world, that we attain to heavenly realms or spiritual fulfillment. - Buddha
* Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. - Jesus (John 14:27)
* If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. 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
* Is 2012 the end of one stage in human development and the beginning of a new chapter in human evolution? The darkness and pain of the era of the "Art of War" (Death) appears to be giving way to the age of enlightenment and the "Art of Peace" (Life) thanks in a large part to the vast improvement in 2-way communication the World Wide Web has created.
Do you belive that "Peace for All & All for Peace" has a chance to create Peace on Earth?
