We might realize that this vision is the guiding force that causes us to question where we're going, and leads us to try to change what is wrong and to make it right. People who are working to ease human suffering, are working to bring us closer to this dream of peace on earth. People who are concerned about the environment and the living creatures that inhabit our earth are really concerned about peace, for they want our world to be more like this dream of peace on earth that we share inside. People who are yearning to live more spiritual lives are looking for the peace of mind that everyone will have when peace prevails on earth. Peace is more than international relations, and peace is not passive.
Peace is a way of life.
It is a balance, a state of mind in which we feel good about ourselves, our lives, our families, our friends, our communities, and our future. Peace is about how we handle problems and how we get along with others. Peace is about community - about working together, encouraging each other, helping each other to live better, more fulfilling lives. Most of all, peace is about respect - respect for ourselves, each other, and the planet we share. Everyone wishes for peace on earth.
