Creating Peace

 It isn't enough to talk about peace.  One must believe in it.  And it isn't enough to believe in it.  One must work at it.  (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Creating Peace

 The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart.  The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace. (Carlos Santana)

Creating Peace

 Peace is not absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.  (Ronald Reagan)

Let's Focus on Creating Peace in Our World

 I'm going to share some quotes on creating peace.  It starts with all of us and will hopefully trickle upward and outward to all of humanity.  Let's create peace together.

When you make peace with yourself, you make peace with the world.  (Maha Ghosananda)

 

A Truth We See Every Day (Unfortunately)

 

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been.  The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."  (Isaac Asimov)

Something to Keep in Mind . . .

 Two thoughts to keep in mind when listening to the discourses in the public square:

A lie told once or told a thousand times is still a lie.

An excess of emotion does not make up for a deficiency of thought.

Happy New Year!

 Wishing you peace, love, and joy in the new year.
