I thought today was a good day to start this adventure: It is my birthday and birthdays should be times of new beginnings. I want to share my thoughts and dreams.
People everywhere want the same thing. They just give it
different names.
different names.
Confusion and fear get in the way
of understanding each other . How
do you get past fear? People act so
badly when they do not understand.
How do you stop fear? What do you
do about someone else’s fear when it
is coming towards you. How do you
direct it away? If they only see disability
( and differences) how do you
who are working in their own ways,
small or large scale to create world
peace and understanding

people see that the difference between
us is really no difference at all.
This is the beginning of Peace.
I began my Peace Wall after reading
Thich Nhat Hahn’s Creating True
Peace. He spoke of the U.N. Manifesto
declaring 2001-2010 as the International
Decade for the Culture of
Peace and Non-violence for the Children
of the World. After reading the
six points of the Manifesto, I began to
create a “Peace Wall” with the goals
of the Manifesto. The Peace Wall is
made up of pictures of living peopleus is really no difference at all.

Great start at blogging, Dani! I think you are right that finding agreement on what we really want is the path to peace. The problem is most of us need to think so much more deeply about what we really want.
Sometimes it is very difficult to know how to resolve the injustices of the past and still press on to meet the challenges of the future.
And then there is the cost of what we say we want. We may say we want something. But if we ourselves have to pay for it, or give up something for it, and are not willing to do so, do we really want it?
Dani, I love your blog. Peace and understanding are something I think we all strive for and to have people look at us for who we are instead of who they deem we are. I love your wall of peace. Your mom has told me about it before but seeing it was neat. Keep up the blog I will enjoy reading it.
We seem to keep repeating the past. Everyone wants so much morwe than what they truly need. It would be so great to start to really change the future with starting to really open our hearts and minds to differences and to accept others just for who they are, beliefs and all.
Some how we lost the idea of what we really and truly need, getting this mixed up with the idea of what we want. There is a big difference of what we want and what we truly need. If we stayed focused on what we truly need we could all become so much more giving and caring and helpful to all people around us everyday. This would be a good idea for all of us to work on. Someday if we work hard we could reach our goal of peace on earth.
Dani, Yes fear and lack of understanding cause a great deal of pain. One way to begin is to present people with a smile and look them in the eye. I find that most people respond positively to a smile or a complimentary comment. The late Leo Buscaglia wrote several books on the subject and I believe in all he had to say. God bless you and much success in your future.
Wow Dani! Your philosophy on world peace is a great philosophy to have. Keep up the good work!
