To live in peace=85four words that the people of the world have the
courage and the tenacity to achieve.
Within us all, from every nation, from all walks of faith, lives a
dream of peace that was born when man first agonized over taking the
life of another. This hope within us exists as much as our anger and
frustrations that are so prevalent today and it is this hope, this
dream of peace that will transcend humanity from its bickering
factions to a society that works as one for the advancement of the
human race.
Most of humanity strives to live an honest, well meaning life. We are
good people with many good qualities. Finding the strength, the
determination to live in peace is a conscious choice that we as
individuals make on a daily basis. To aspire to live in world peace is
humanity finding its strength and determination to make the choices
that promote cooperation and integrity when the tendency of our past
would lead us to violence. World peace is learning from our
differences to see the spirit of life we share.
Today, at this moment, the world can start living in peace. The steps
we take as a human being and as a people must be with the goal of
peace at the forefront of our thoughts and actions. We have only
ourselves to succeed and only ourselves to blame if we fail.
