thing alone and that is b s and peace is not the for forty years is firing people around the world to find peace within one of the s a long one joy no elsewhere montreal i go and i talk to people and i present them with the possibility of themselves discover the peace that lies within in june two thousand and ten it was invited to speak at a prestigious event at parliament house in brussels by mr gianni patella the first vice president of the european parliament the state secretary of the his introduction mr patel a spoke of the importance and value of peace to each individual saying it describes peace as a fundamental necessity in every person's life peace is a well established reality in every human being and is the founding element of any social relationship this perspective which puts the individual back at the center is very much at home with the european culture and presents a real possibility of t mr vice president it's just great secretary honorable members of the european parliament distinguished guests ladies and gentlemen you have heard a lot from both of our speakers and i have a few things to say they're very simple in nature which is i'm a person who believes that it's ok to talk about peace it's good to talk about peace it's better to feel it should it's ok to talk about human progress it's better to actually to better themselves so they could have been still living in caves you know sure but a little more than that to make something beautiful to live in they could have been sleeping on trees they could have been wearing still the leather clad but there is a human trait to improve to better ourselves and in this spirit of bettering ourselves not only externally but there is a fundamental need to better ourselves from within from our heart not only from our mind but from our heart not only in ideas but in reality this is who we are these are the genes the ideas the things that have shaped us to the point that we are today one other thing we have always been concerned about our future as we long long long long time ago transition from trees to caves we wondered what will happen to and today after all the changes that we see today we still question our future what will happen to us there are people who say that earth will be destroyed and when we hear that we feel concerned  it's natural right now in the economic situation of the of the world of those there are people who are wondering what's going to happen to them wars continue the reasons are declared as a very justifications have thrown out innocent women and children created in my opinion the ideal should be to have peace on this earth everybody is wondering what is going on i mean isn't just a few years ago everything was wonderful because everybody was proudly as the economy as the economy as the economy and then all of a sudden  and i'm paraphrasing the united nations charter that it is in the minds of men of human beings that the wars are created that's where it under a simple recognition of one another that we may look different that we may speak different things but we have the same fundamental needs look at one example that i like to use quite a bit is that a few years ago quite a few years ago the scientists wanted to search the space to make sure there was nobody else out there too so they of course they sent a probe with all the things from earth and they also installed antennas giant forms of antennas to listen in the outer space for any signs of life as of now i'm not saying that there is no life out there i don't know but i can tell you this they have searched an awful lot of space for millions and millions and millions and millions of miles of outer space and  getting to live along the way to each other where did he teach others differences everybody doesn't have to become just like me it's not any different you just say a different it's different words different voices are made but the meaning is exactly the same exactly the same not too long ago my wife and i were blessed with a grandson and he's just just barely five months old and he likes to talk of course you can't speak a word but he likes to talk to me that's good and he makes noises but there's a way he communicates and i was thinking about it last when he's happy he smiles w do you know who taught him that me wasn't his mama wasn't his daddy wasn't any instructions that he read when you are happy smiles we are parked off on much greater world than we realize much more fundamental things are afoot here and among those fundamental things is the need and desire for peace so like i said it is good to talk about peace it's better to feel peace it's good to talk about food but it is better to eat food it is ok to talk about water but it is better to drink that's a very important question because everybody has their own interpretation of what pieces we don't recognize peace as universal as the sum we don't recognize peace as fundamental as water we don't recognize peace as essential as the air what we are busy doing and this is another thing that as human beings we are very good at whenever and our definitions our expectations of what we are looking  when we cannot find god we start defining god imagining what god will be you don't have to imagine a mountain it's there you can see it you can touch it you can look at it you can  get a g p s location of it everybody who can define has gotten on the bandwagon of definitions so what do we do we argue one god but the fight about their version of who goddess are we doing the same thing with peace are we fracture ing then necessity that we have in our lives for peace by giving it definitions or are we accepting the simple principles that peace is a real need and it will be felt not in part but in the heart of every human being of every human being that has to be the target there are people who give five reasons six reasons seven reasons ten reasons of why there cannot be peace on the  i have six point five billion reasons why there should be  it seems to me prosperity loves peace create peace and prosperity seems to come right along and make it stage and dance for every one these are not impossible dreams these are realities that can be had if we can make such a mess out of this earth if we have that much power then certainly we have enough power to bring peace on th question remains whether it is something that we want to do or not because peace begins with every one of your actions when you look at a city at night you see it lit up a whole area that is lit up but don't forget it is individual balls that are actually in action making that scene look is the way it looks individual since it is individual human beings who need the peace it is individual human beings that we used in whom the desire resides and it is on the individual human being stage that the piece needs to dance is it possible this one doesn't require a prayer  this one requires an understanding this one does not require a wish this one requires determination this one does not require definitions this one requires clarity that if we can go to the moon it should certainly be possible to reach the shortest distance there is from one to one's heart to the exits from one to one's heart and feel that joy that exists similarities and not the differences that as the day we begin to lay the foundation for peace in this world and miles i always find it a great honor just to be in the company of those people who are interested in this because they forge the way ahead to the possibilities of peace for everyone on this very it's been my great honor to be invited to the european parliament to have the pleasure to be able to say a few words about the peace i have a very very strong feeling that if we really want to this can be done it will not be one person it is too easy to say one person will do it now it will be all of us
