Beautiful words are not enough. Our ultimate goal should be the demilitarisation of the entire planet. If it were properly planned and people were educated to understand its advantages, I believe it would be quite possible. But, if we are to have the confidence to eliminate physical weapons, to begin with some kind of inner disarmament is necessary. We need to embark on the difficult task of developing love and compassion within ourselves.
Compassion is, by nature, peaceful and gentle, but it is also very powerful.
Some may dismiss it as impractical and unrealistic, but I believe its practice is the true source of success. It is a sign of true inner strength. To achieve it we do not need to become religious, nor do we need any ideology. We all want to live a good life, but that does not mean just having good food, clothes, and shelter. These are not sufficient.
