YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF PEACE
Peace, like out breath, exists very comfortably and very close to us. Peace is our very breath and life. This is why anyone can discover peace and help to bring it about. Peace is everyone’s purpose in life, not the province of a few select individuals. It is not something that a select group of politicians, artists, or even religious leaders can do for us. You and I, one individual at a time, are all creators and benefactors of peace, as well as its beneficiaries. Until now, responsibility for peace fell on people of influence. Now we must reclaim our own responsibility and right to peace. Those who truly love humanity, the Earth, and peace are experts in peace. One who truly loves life is a specialist in peace.
The first step toward peace is to realize that you yourself are the creator and benefactor of peace. You have a responsibility to change the unsustainable direction of current civilization, and you have the power to change the direction of humanity toward peace.
