Four Paths To Peace
1. Uniting
is the beginning
Understanding
that we are united in a common goal of peace on
earth is the beginning of establishing a new era
of peace. The next step is to work together for
peace.
2. A balance
of Four paths to peace
There
are 4 paths that people for peace must follow to
bring peace on earth. Two of these are the ways
of the peacemakers and two are the ways of the peaceworkers.
Each of the four paths is important in the lives
of every one of us. But each of us will find the
right balance of the four paths of peace for our
lives.
3. We must
all be peacemakers
For
there to be peace, we must all be peacemakers. Peacemaking
is a way of life, a way of thinking that is integrated
into our daily lives. It is striving to use every
interaction as a chance to spread peace and build
bonds of friendship and community, no matter where
we are or what we are doing.
4. Peace of
mind is the key
To
be effective peacemakers we must have peace of mind.
We can only help make our lives and our world more
peaceful, when we ourselves feel peace. And so the
second path of the peacemaker is to seek and maintain
inner peace.
5. We must
also work for peace
We
must also be peaceworkers -- actively working for
peace, in order for peace on earth to come in our
time. Some will choose to submerge their lives in
working for peace and compassion. But for most of
us there are little things that we can do in our
daily lives as peaceworkers. Every act that shares
peace and compassion is important as we move forward
together. THERE ARE NO SMALL ACTS OF COMPASSION.
Every victory for peace brings us all closer to
peace on earth.
6. Peaceworkers
spread peace and compassion
The
two paths of the peaceworker are to do good works
to help ease human suffering and build new bridges
of peace and understanding; and to spread the message
that peace is important, so that it will become
part of the values and goals of society.
7. Peacemaking
is a way of life
Each of the
four paths of peace is important. All must be
walked upon to bring peace on earth. All become
part of our lives when we choose a life of peace.
