Peace
Peace is a two-sided coin! On one side there is “me!”, and on the other side there is the world! If I am happy and at peace, the world is too! If the world is happy and at peace, I am too! But to build this mutual circuit of peace (that begins with inner peace and spreads to the whole world and comes back to us), we need a foundation. The foundation of Peace is made of Human Values. ​We need to construct this foundation with skill and love to make it into a strong and stable basis on which peace can flourish. That means making place in our lives for more and more kindness, understanding, respect, trust, friendship, contentment, righteousness, harmony, unity….
“Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.”
(Spinoza, Theological-political Treatise, 1670).
My inner peace
fosters world peace,
and so does yours!
