I love this:
Peace starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share peace with neighboring communities, and so on. When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
-- 14th Dalai Lama
HAHA, too funny! But seriously, achieving inner peace is a step-by-step process; and it takes some practice.
But I believe world peace can only truly be achieved through each and every human's INNER PEACE.
So. the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet.
As I said, it takes practice and patience, but it can be done!....and we need to do it!! It is a new year -----perfect time to start a new practice.
