Today we celebrate the UN’s INTERNATIONAL
DAY OF PEACE, the resolution to have loud voices for PEACE and a special day
was passed in 1981; the first celebration was in 1982.
If we can at least try as a society to
visualize the possibility of PEACE perhaps someday we will be able to
accomplish this. It is a great tool to teach said desire tour children, so that
they perhaps find a way to instill PEACE as a way of life*.
On a personal note, I spent my formative
years in the 1970swatching the Vietnam War on TV. Literally eating dinner as I
watched soldiers from both sides, kill and die.
Inasmuch as there were Peace movements the
conservative society that surrounded me represented an acceptance of war. It
was simply an accepted principle. Historically it has been an accepted
necessity, countries are born through bloody revolutions and re-formed through
just as bloody civil wars. We watch it every day.
There have however been great examples of
NON violent changes with great results. As per Wikipedia:
A nonviolent revolution is a revolution
using mostly campaigns of civil resistance, including various forms of
nonviolent protest, to bring about the departure of governments seen as
entrenched and authoritarian. While many campaigns of civil resistance are
aimed at much more limited goals than revolution, generally a nonviolent
revolution is characterized by simultaneous advocacy of democracy, human rights
and national independence in the country concerned. In some cases a campaign of
civil resistance with a revolutionary purpose may be able to bring about the
defeat of a dictatorial regime only if it obtains a degree of support from the
armed forces, or at least their benevolent neutrality.**
My favorite principles and acts of a
peaceful resolution are those from Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi:
A nonviolent
revolution is not a program of seizure of power. It is a program of
transformation of relationships ending in a peaceful transfer of power.
Mohandas Gandhi, 1942***
I hope you enjoy the Peace Hop, ponder on
Peace and spread the possibility.
