What Is "Peace On Earth?"
Peace On Earth is more than whether or not countries are at war. There will be peace on earth when all of the people of our world live as a "global community." When all people are treated fairly. When the rights of every person in society are valued and respected. When people treat the earth and all of the animals and plants that share this planet with respect. When people work out their problems peacefully. When society makes "striving for peace on earth" its # 1 goal.
What are
"Peace On Earth Issues?"
People who are helping to end world hunger are working for peace on earth. Homelessness, poverty, environmental concern, human rights, equality, justice, health... every problem that our society faces is really a "Peace On Earth issue." There will always be problems in our world, but when humanity makes PEACE ON EARTH its # 1 goal and priority, then society will place importance and value on helping to make a better world, and will encourage and promote efforts to strive for peace on earth. Life can never be perfect, but when fairness, equality and respect become the foundations of our global community, life will be better and more rewarding for EVERYONE.
Helping Society to Focus on Peace
"A public focus on peace can help all of us seek a more harmonious world..."
-- Bill Bradley
People have always wished for peace on earth. Everyone you know has probably wished for it sometime -- on their birthday, or on Christmas, or Passover, or New Year's Day. But people don't think it's possible. It isn't a goal that society is actively working towards. But what if we helped society to see that peace on earth is something we should work together for. Maybe if the world could believe that it is possible, we might try to work together to make it possible. Trying to live a peaceful life is the most important thing each of us can do to help bring peace on earth. But each of us can also help society to focus on peace. When society encourages peace, it will be easier for each of us to live peaceful lives.
