The Idea
Better than a thousand
useless words
is one single word that gives peace..
Better than a thousand useless verses
is one single verse that gives peace..
Better than hundred useless poems
is one single poem that gives peace....
The
above are words of the Dhammapada, said around
2300 years ago.. Let's act according to it...
No one in this globe
can live in peace if she/he does not respect the "LIFE" of others.. life
got it's special holiness, no matter if it's a life of a human being or
an animal... Unless we respect this holiness of life we'll never find peace...
You had no choice to come to this life on
the shape and color you came in, neither the others do. Then there is no
logic in dealing with others according to what they didn't had a chance
or control to be.
We are all equal, no matter what our color
or ideology is, we are facing the same problems on this globe, let's not
make it more complicated, we need to cooperate together for a better future
for our children, we have to start a serious thinking of our environment
, about the poverty problem,
a serious thinking of better disease control, a serious thinking of better
commercial communication, a better thinking of better education for our
children and a better thinking in living together instead of killing each
other.
I personally suffered from wars, we all know
that destruction is the only thing we'll earn from it. War never solved
a problem, in fact the opposite is true, It increased the problems and
made it more complicated, I know we have to defend ourselves, but from
the early beginning, and before the situation reach to war, everybody must
realize that the human being got it's personal holiness, and war should
not start in respect to this holiness...
This is difficult, I know, but if we start
believe in this idea, and start teaching it to our children, we'll get
a day we reach peace...Peace which as Franklin
once said "Even peace be may purchased at too high a price..." unfortunately
!!!
" The wise should surrender speech in mind, mind in the knowing self, the knowing self in the Spirit of the universe, and the Spirit of the universe in the Spirit of peace..."
