We the undersigned believe that governments make treaties, but individuals make Peace. We come from different nations, different races, different faiths and different socio-economic backgrounds; but we recognize that we are all connected by our shared Humanity. We see our differences as superficial and our similarities as manifest. Permanent Peace can only be achieved when we start from our common ground and expand out, not from a position of our differences and work inward.
Every action can spread like a ripple to have far-reaching consequences. This petition is a pebble in a pond. We have each made a personal commitment to Peace. WE BELIEVE that together, Peace will Prevail.
