SOLUTION

The possibility of peace is in our hands. But by stating this truth in the plural leaves room for too many to step back and hide. If I say peace is in your hands it is too easy to say,”Whoa, it’s not all up to me.” And if I say peace is in my hands too many people will be content to back off and let me spin my wheels.

People are too good at manipulating the English language to avoid personal responsibility.

All this manipulation of the language does not serve peace.

I’m going to try it again.

The possibility of peace is in our hands. All of us. Together.

Each of us can do something for peace. All I ask is that you do that one thing that you are capable of doing for peace.

Can you talk to any of your coworkers or friends about peace? How about having a family discussion about peace? Can you put a bumper sticker on your car? Can you put a sticker anyplace else?

How about writing a letter? That can’t be too hard to do. An envelope, a piece of paper with a simple message written on it and a $0.41 $0.42 stamp is doable. Isn’t it? You won’t be graded on it this isn’t a school assignment.

This is a peace assignment.

Peace for you, your family, your friends, your community, your state and your country. Certainly you can see how this will lead to world peace. It all starts with you doing something.

And why is it so important for you to get involved? Because the United States is now in it’s greatest state of change since the mid 1800’s. Can you see the big picture? The United States is experiencing its greatest crisis of confidence in leadership in 150 years.

It is now up to us.

It is now up to you.

I am not telling you what to do. I am not even suggesting that you do any one specific thing. I am only asking you to do something for peace. And I am asking this of you because change is happening and if you do nothing for peace then peace will not arrive.

If you want a future for yourself, your family and your friends then you want peace. If you want true prosperity and abundance you want peace. If you desire to live in a friendly environment then you must be pro-environment and at peace with nature.

And to be pro-peace means to stop acting as if war is peace. The idea that war is peace is a lie. Recognize the lie for what it is.

Stop waging war for peace.

Stop using poisons to war against your body, your food and your living space. Wage peace upon your body, your food and your living space. Make peace with your neighbors and larger community.

Who is served by divisions within our families, among our friends, in our neighborhoods and across our country? Divisions serve warmongers. Divisiveness is war. Unity is peace. What can you do for unity?

It really is that simple.

Those who make it complicated wish to disguise divisiveness. Peace is simple. You can see it. See peace with all people. See peace with all men, women and children.

You don’t have to understand them. You don’t have to agree with them. You don’t have to judge them. They don’t have to go to your church. They don’t have to go to any church. They don’t have to vote the same way you do.

But you can still be at peace with them.

Be at peace with your environment. Be at peace with animals. Be at peace with waterways, forests and prairies. Be at peace with mountains and hollows. This is where you live. To live in a peaceful environment it must have a healthy assortment of diverse animals. This is a simple idea. Those who make it complicated do not seek peace.

Seek peace.

i wonder if most people say to hell with peace and hold the notion for their "next life"

Today we focus on the bad and give no creedence to the good that goes on around us everyday. I watched a kid help an old lady with bags at the supermarket this morning.. i watched a man hold a door open for a child that wasn't even his..

To focus on nothing but the bad.. is to trap yourself into a world of misery with no light.

Sometimes you only need the little things in life to remind you of good in the world.

shoot i'm just trying not to get run over by the bus i catch every morning for work.

but whats in my feet?

toe jam?

i checked i found no toe jam
