My dream for peace is simple, “one people”.
Our world and the US are at a breaking point. In the past two months, three violent tragic events have hurt the US and other violence has hurt the rest of the world.
The choices we make and our solutions to the current crises will define the 21st century and impact the future of generations yet to come.
For guidance in these troubled times, we can look to the Dalai Lama. He writes that we are one people, one humanity.
What did he mean?
I think he meant that we all have the same basic needs and abilities and we all have desires. In spite of race, nationality, religion, political orientation, age, gender, and sexual orientation, this statement is true.
We all want to have a loving home where we are accepted, comfortable and comforted, and loved. And we all want love, kindness, respect, and forgiveness.
But when we let human-made categories separate us, we create conflicts and invisible walls that affect all of us, even those of us who never participated in creating these divisions.
Now the best time of all to tear down these invisible walls! Now is the best time for us to use love, kindness, and non-violent conversation to create unity. WE CAN UNIFY AND BE STRONG AS ONE PEOPLE!
But first, we must change our perspective to love, not hatred and division. We must help our fellow man every chance we can and show him we accept him. We must stop labeling those who are different from us and accept them for who they are right now. Only when we accept others will they work with us to create world-wide peace!
When I look at a person, I see a person created by God. It is not my place to judge him or her. It is my place only to love and accept the person in front of me. And I see endless possibilities for a world filled with “One People”.
There must be limits in any society, like gun regulations and laws. But we also need to accept each other the way we are right now and help each other every chance we can. Then we will be working together for world peace!
Help create a world filled with “One People”.
Let the encouraging words in these near a river posts help you
soar like an eagle above life’s storms.
Just how powerful is the feeling of love?
Here is my secret fountain of youth.
Struggle with depression?
Need a hug?
