Reflections on World Peace

The following comments and reflections on world peace were written by visitors to Kingston Green Fair, 26 May 2003

• For me, peace is not the absence of war, it is a continual struggle to meet every moment with equilibrium of mind, centred inside. It is both personal and worldwide. With love, beauty and truth, we are all one.

• Peace has to be found within each and everyone of us first for the greater understanding that all cultures and religions can live together in harmony. It is only ones war with oneself that causes conflict with others. Nicole

• Stop war, promote non-violence. The revolution starts with you! Simon at Peace News.
• Why do we fight - why do we bully - you only live once. Let people live in peace. Everyone has to die. Even those who bully. So live and let live please.
• We are all equal people. The world should make it fair. Unity is the Answer. Understanding and accepting each others cultures and differences as learnings.
• It's a good thing.
• One should forgive one and other and help others to overcome any problem. Love yourself and care for all.
• We should all learn to accept our differences and uniqueness. To forgive and love our neighbours to help us live in harmony together as one.
• Peace begins with oneself - If we are all treated each other as we would like to be treated ourselves, peace would follow.
• World peace can only be achieved when all realise that all mankind is one, all religions are one and all the world is one.
• Peace! When all in creation strives to living the universal law "Do unto others as you will have them do unto you", be it on an individual level, a national/international level, perhaps then, we would have taken the first crucial step towards realising world peace!
• Just be nice!! You know it makes sense.
