THE URGENCY TO UNITE FOR PEACE BUILDING INITIATIVES WORLDWIDE IS A REALITY MORE TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE. WARFARE, TERRORIZING, BOMBING AND GENOCIDE UPON POOR AND UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE IS CREATING ENDLESS TRAUMATIZED REFUGEES WORLDWIDE. ALL VIOLENCE UPON LIFE MUST BE DEEMED CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BY INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND STOPPED IMMEDIATELY WITH NO LEADERS NOR INDIVIDUALS LEFT OUT. COUNTRIES MUST UNITE AGAINST SUCH HORRID MILITARY EMPOWERMENT THAT CREATES WARFARE UPON INNOCENT PEOPLE AND ROBS THEM OF THEIR FREEDOM, JOBS, LAND, HOMES AND LIVES.
ALL PEOPLE AND LEADERS NEED TO UNITE TO HOLD ACCOUNTABLE THOSE WHO ARE DESTROYING OTHER COUNTRIES AND TAKING AWAY PEOPLES RIGHTS TO LIVE IN PEACE IN THEIR HOMELAND. THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REBUILDING THE LIVES THEY HAVE HARMED IN THEIR COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN. THE HOMES, INFRASTRUCTURES, BUSINESSES AND ECONOMIES OF THOSE LIVES WHOM THEY HAVE HARMED MUST BE REPLACED BY FUNDING LOCAL CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE JOBS FOR THOSE IN NEED.
IT IS INCUMBENT UPON EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO PARTICIPATE IN SUPPORTING PEACE BUILDING WORLDWIDE, NATIONALLY AND LOCALLY. HUMANITY ALREADY LIVES IN FEAR IN TOO MANY PLACES FOR THE MERE FACT OF VIOLENCE OR THE THREAT OF IT IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS, INCLUDING AMERICA, WHERE BUYING A GUN IS EASIER THAN BUYING ALCOHOL. AT LEAST ID’S ARE USUALLY CHECKED WHEN BUYING ALCOHOL. IT IS NECESSARY FOR EACH OF US TO PRACTICE PEACE IN OUR OWN DAILY LIVES FOR IF WE ARE NOT AT PEACE IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO SUPPORT PEACEFUL INITIATIVES OUTSIDE OF US.
HEARING INDIVIDUALS WITH THE CONVICTION TO CREATE PEACE WHO ARE TAKING ACTION TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND UNITE FOR PEACE BUILDING IS HOPEFUL. PARTICIPATING IN PEACE EFFORTS IN ANY WAY OFFERS HOPE DURING CHALLENGING TIMES. IT CREATES AN IMMEDIATE FEELING OF CONNECTION AND HEALING FOR THE INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATING AND FOR THE WORLD. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN DEEPLY DISTURBED SINCE CHILDHOOD ABOUT WARFARE, HUMAN INJUSTICES AND HARM TO ANIMALS, NATURE AND EARTH, I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH INTEGRITY WHO ARE WORKING TOWARDS CREATING PEACE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND ALL LIFE ON PARADISE EARTH.
