World Peace Day 2006

There is International Day of Peace, World Peace Day, World Peace & Prayer Day - yet the violence, the killings still continue. There is not a moment when they pause to think - is all this fighting worth it? Is all this killing worth it? The lost of human lives the lost of sense of peace? As the world marks World Peace Day - the battle rages on and lives are lost be it in Iraq, in Afghanistan, the conflict between Israel & the Palestinians - it seems to be never ending. Makes you wonder how much you can write how much you can vent - it still will continue. Peace accords are rejected - futures ruined - what kind of world are we living in?

Below is a message from a self proclaimed peace guy Don Morris. In his own words and i quote ... “I’m not a hero, just an ordinary guy who splices cable for the local telephone company, I’m just doing my part to make my share of the world a better place. And the world is bigger than just people, it’s about all living things” end of quote.

If he could have that vision why cant we right? So when every day of peace comes around - spread the word cos its only through education and education can we make this world a better and peaceful place ..

Peace within ourselves, peace with our surroundings and peace with our fellow man regarless of race religion status - we are all one regardless.. Make peace day an everyday mission because the world needs it ..

Thoughts from A Peace Guy’s Prayer

May the people on this planet be changed from hatred to love, from greed to giving, from selfishness to selflessness, from apathy to action, from jealousy to joy in the accomplishments of others.

Can we trade intolerance for acceptance, destruction for construction, fighting for peace, and killing for the protection of life?

Can we change from censorship to freedom, ignorance to education and instead of fearing our differences, rejoice in our diversity?

May we each take it upon ourselves to feed the hungry, cure the sick, house the homeless, educate the illiterate, love the unloved, and compete to do the right thing instead of winning at any cost.

Can we become heroes that teach our children to make the world a better place by glorifying peace instead of war?

Can we speak out against things that are wrong, and demand honesty from our governments and ourselves?

May we each take responsibility for our own actions?
