Sorry to be the pessimist but peace in the world? That's never gunna happen.There are too many religous differences,too many cultural differences,Too many despot rulers living the high life while their subjects starve.& too many people not willing to accept progress & change for the better.Sure I'd like to see it all happen.Great men (& women) have dreamed of it for centuries & still no-one has ever been able to make it work.The best we can hope for is to be on good terms with those in our immediate surroundings.

The only time there is is now…the past is a fable and the future an illusion. Now is the only time and place that peace can be found. Put more of your time in the stillness of now and now is where peace is found. Peace is the acceptance of this very moment…and the more we are in now, the less we are dashing between past and future attempting to force reality ti become what it is not into what it can only be if we stop stirring the pot.

There are homeless people in our town. I don’t see where they live and I don’t know how they live. I’m not one of them. For that I’m grateful. I know of a woman who has so much wealth. A vacation home, expensive trips, expensive wardrobe, jewels, a big boat ...so much. Too much.
When she speaks of the homeless she has such scorn in her voice. I believe she thinks these people are going to take away her wealth somehow. She hates them and says they’re lazy, crazy, drunks. It has never occured to her that these people may have physical or mental health problems, (or both) It doesn’t occur to her that these people may have come from homes where they have been raised by parents who don’t function well. As children they may have been hit, starved, bullied ... all that.
I would like to change how people think. I would like them to understand the pain of others and give what they can to make life easier. I would like people to have these words in their hearts: There but for fortune go you or me

When I was visiting my daughter in Washington State, we went to Seattle and there I saw total despair of homeless people living on the streets. I have never forgotten the image of these people I think you find homeless people more in bigger cities.
Many of the homeless are Vietnam Veterans who were treated with such contempt by many people and our own government.
Thankfully there are some great compassionate people out there who dedicate theire life to helping the homeless population.
However there is very little help for the mentally disturbed people who roam the streets. It schould be the duty of a country to get the help they need and take them off the streets.We have a lousy medical system and a non-compassionate government.
Your “Scare Crow” sounds terrible. Try to volunteer her to help.
There are a lot of us who do understand. xxx itsmee xxx
They spend billions on war...but don`t spend a dime on homeless people..it`s all down to charities..which is so wrong imho!
To get peace, first you need to convince people that religion is un-necessary, evil and divisive.

for people to realize we are not only responsible for ourselves, our biggest responsibility of all should be looking after our fellow man.
Regardless of the color of our skin
Or what tongue we speak
If we hold hands together to fight for survival
WE BECOME GOD
Forced to stand and fight for survival alone
