i truly believe that peace in the individual and peace in the world work together...we are what we eat, we are what we breathe!


The Arts of Peace... beautiful... And peace comes from within...

peace from within, but perhaps what is within is a recombinant soup of what's in one's outer space...hence, very difficult to be peaceful in a space/world that is not.

but you have control over what's inside not so much with what's outside... work with what you know - yourself. once you have peace within you can work with the world...

i respect your point of view...and i've heard it many times...ppl who were in the most deplorable conditions, for example auschwitz-birkenau or eastern europe under communist rule were able to find peace and beauty in their lives, and were able to find things to be grateful for. and ghandi, be the change you want to see in the world. but i have come to believe that this point of view is defeatist (ie we can't fix the world so let's not even try) and is also promoted by those who place the blame for non-peace back on us (the individual), not on social, political, economic, and cultural institutions, where much of the responsibility lies. i truly believe that peace in the individual and peace in the world work together...we are what we eat, we are what we breathe! so let's work on both simultaneously, y traer paz al mundo...
