In health, we enjoy our greatest peace.
Happiness and good health are partners.
It seems common sense to me
that the same principles I'd use for my personal well-being,
should, also, be
the philosophy for world peace.
Our personal and international difficulties
are, obviously,
the results of poor choices and greediness.
My health has been my personal crisis.
My condition affects those whose lives I touch.
Does not the health and security of my country and world
depend, also,
on what I do or don't do?
Our collective interactive social state
is dangerously sick!
We must be transformed
and bring a world-wide movement
of transformation!
We are inspired by stories
of heroes from here and there,
but we need to be populated with heroes everywhere.
'Though no writer may ever write our story,
WE must be heroes here!
It doesn't matter to whom, or in what, or wherever.
In this world, our beloved country's actions
speak to other cultures
about individual characters in our population.
If that is not a fact,
then the wrong persons are acting for us.
If that is the situation,
then some of us are not making our principles known.
The way our people treat other nation's peoples
determines our national reputation.
Can they? ...
Will they trust us?
Trust is not easily given:
it is earned!
All nations build their own reputations.
By our experiences with one another,
personally and internationally,
we will decide trade agreements
and diplomatic social affiliations.
Our personal interactions follow the chain of humanity.
The results will become our policies, internationally.
We perceive others internationally
as we have perceived them personally.
Do they have our trust and good will?
This doesn't call for us to be naive, weak, and foolish:
it calls for wisdom with understanding and compassion.
It calls for responsibility in diplomatic courtesy.
I do not believe world peace exclusively depends
on governors, statesmen, presidents, or kings!
The beauty and goodness of a culture
may be counted more often among simple little things.
Our measure of personal and international peace
is every person's responsibility.
Every individual
must do what they can
to be a person that is just and good.
Kindness and hope can be given
by the poor,
the sick and dying,
the young,
and the old.
Both, the educated and uneducated, ...
both, the prosperous and the jobless, ...
can practice the principles of morality and charity.
Cannot every notable or humble being
find some ability
within themselves whereby
they can be constructive each day?
Surely!
At least,
every being could pledge themselves
to live their lives in a non-destructive way!
Although, no mere human can attain
a day of perfect perfection,
each one can choose a moral code
to help them through life
to determine their choices.
Every man, woman, and child that is able to make a choice
will have the ultimate primary responsibility
of their own well-being,
however,
we're all inter-dependent in some way
upon the goodness of others.
Do be mindful to take care of you,
but that doesn't mean hoard things to yourself.
Sharing is an integral quality of your spirituality
and essential to
your self-respect, ... your sense of self-worth.
All peoples are in common
in that we share basic needs.
It matters not from where we come, ...
from what position in society, ...
from what culture, race, or religion, ...
we yearn for security, health, love, and peace.
According to the guidance you have chosen
to be your Higher Power,
take care of your needs.
Nurture yourself physically and spiritually.
Care for yourself.
Take hope.
Take courage.
Be as well and as peaceable as you can be.
Share what you've found for yourself
with some other person
and/or with as many as you can reach.
It's a false perception that you're too small
to have an effect on the world's population.
You reach for your circle of humanity.
Perhaps they will feel what you feel
and they wil give
the gift you gave to them
to their circle of humanity.
Do you see how subtly powerful
this movement for peace can be?
It is common sense!
It is simply that good old golden rule!
The same peace, health, happiness, and prosperity
that you wish for yourself, ...
would you, please,
wish it, also,
for my family and me?
And, would you be so gracious to, also,
wish it for
my beloved country?
Thank you, Friend.
