If there was world peace tomorrow, would you have peace within your own family and friends? I will stop worrying so much what other people are doing and I will work on creating better relationships with the people that I come in contact with.

If we were a loving society, our governments would eventually blend in.  WE as the people can change the world.  It's just baby steps forward - One person at a time.

I believe that everyone should give people a chance and not judge them or want to get physical for any reason. People should be more understanding and use their heads more often. Hurting your brothers and sisters is despicable. Talk everything out, don't get violent. There's no reason for it, you know maan ? Give people a chance ! "There was never a good war or a bad peace."- Benjamin Franklin

Just think positive and chill with your friends, bad stuff happens to everyone.. it's just how you deal with it. Everything happens for a reason, you don't need to dwell on the past. Peace, love, and happiness, spread it !

TEN SECONDS OF PEACE Dear Everyone: I am writing sincerely seeking your help to spread an important message of Peace. I ask that you notify as many as possible of an opportunity to better our society, our world, and ourselves. Hello, my name is Sean M. Shaw, and I am writing a letter to you and the world asking for support. I do not need money. All I ask is for “Kindness”, and to pass the message. I started this campaign nine years ago, however, I believe now more then ever we as a civilized people should take greater steps to better our communities and ourselves. I am a youth counselor who works with drug addicted, behaviorally and emotionally disturbed youth. Day in and day out I listen to the despair of children about their outlook on life. Most are disenchanted with the moral integrity of our society. We preach to our children to live as fine up standing citizens, however, we give them no tangible references as to what that is. Most of the youth that I deal with claim to see more elements of violence and drugs then genuine love and affection. And this is why I need your support. I am organizing ten seconds of peace worldwide. I am asking everyone to observe ten seconds of peace between December 31, 2008, 11:59:55 pm and January 1, 2009, 12:00:05 am. I have specifically targeted this date and time because as the year changes, it gives those who may have not started the year right an opportunity to end the year right and everyone a chance to start the New Year right. I am asking for your support for ten seconds, not to commit any violent or hateful act and to spread the word to as many people as possible to do the same during the above time. Through your support World Peace is possible in our time, if only for ten seconds; from there we will build. I am sending this letter to all world leaders and government bodies as well as most media and religious organizations seeking support. However, it is the everyday person that is most important. It is the people who will be the strength and soul of this event. So please join me in TEN SECONDS OF PEACE. If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy. If a child lives with fear, he learns to be apprehensive. If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty. If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient. If a child lives with encouragement, he learns to be confident. If a child lives with acceptance, he learns to love. If a child lives with recognition, he learns it is good to have goals. If a child lives with honesty, he learns what truth is. If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice. If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith in himself and those around him. If a child lives with friendliness, he learns the world is a nice place in which to live… to love… and to be loved. (Anonymous) Thank you, Sean M. Shaw P.S. May we all find peace and peace of mind.

Seek happiness in all its forms in every situation

We are all Gods sons and daughters, created in his image. We each need to realize the we were created perfect in every way, and that we have the power to co-create the life we desire at every moment. We are all here together, so that we can share and help one another to achieve the life we desire. The feeling of wanting creates the state of wanting (lacking). The feeling of having creates the state of having.

Go inside yourself, be at peace with yourself. Be still and listen the voice of God within you. Love and respect yourself and then you can love and respect others and they will love and respect you.

I beleive that world peace starts with the Self. If one is not at peace with him/herself than we will never be able to truly find world peace. Unity is the heart of community..and we are unable to have a genuine community without creating a unity within the nations. World peace can happen if this positive movement can shine to light within our indiviuals.

My formula for happiness is something found from within. It does not matter where you are or who you are with..but whether or not you are content with yourself. Learning to think positively and manifest that into your life is truly the source of our happiness. Following the light in your life, the things that bring you positivity, will ultimatly show you that happiness is a manifestation of how we interpret the circumstances in our life.

I embrace peace by refusing to battle - I allow others to have their own experience, whatever that may be. I choose peace, and send a Peace thought wherever I see discord.

I do my best to see each situation, others, and myself in the Highest Light - the most uplifting point of view that I can find. I choose happiness, and do my best to remember that it is my choice:)

Hi! My name is Marty Schirn. I REALLY LIKE YOUR WEB SITE!!! Here is my recipe for World Peace: As a member of the Baha'i Faith, founded by Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), I believe world peace will come through world unity. Furthermore, I believe world unity must occur FIRST, then we can resolve all our problems. In a world of interdependent nations, the good of the part can best be reached through the good of the whole. Most people take the opposite point of view. They figure world unity is impossible, communist or satanic. Instead, they choose their favorite issues and try to resolve them. Because people choose different solutions for each problem, they end up working against one another. The result is disunity. It's like a family of four. If they are constantly arguing, little can be accomplished. But if they are united in harmony, there's no limit to what they can achieve. The same is true for the human family. As I see it, if humanity continues to just focus on specific problems instead of first bringing about unity and harmony, disunity will only deepen and lead to increasingly severe planetary chaos and destruction. Here are some quotations from the Writings of Baha'u'llah: "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." "The well-being of mankind, its peace and security are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established." "No power can exist except through unity." "Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch." "All the Prophets of God proclaim the same Faith."

Here is my formula for Happiness: Everything in this life is as fleeting as the wind. In less than the twinkling of an eye I can lose everything: relationships, possessions, money, jobs, bodily functions, etc. There are only two constants in this world: God and me. Hence for me, developing and maintaining a close relationship with the Creator is of the utmost importance. It is this relationship that brings me happiness and spiritual growth. It is the one thing that helps me distinguish between the important and the most important. It is what motivates me to acquire virtues and become what I was created to become: a noble, spiritual human being. This relationship is the foundation on which everything else in my life is built. If you're interested in learning more about the Baha'i Faith, go to www.bahai.us and www.bahai.org Thank you very much for your EXCELLENT web site and for letting me share these things with you! Sincerely, Marty Schirn

My recipe for world peace would be to follow what God says in the Bible. If everyone practiced what Jesus taught us there would be no wars, no crime, no hate, no terrorism. We were all made in God's image so that makes us all equal, no one is better than anyone else.

Following the Bible & doing what Jesus taught us to do. If we followed God's laws, there'd be peace, togetherness, love & kindness with us all.

do not fight one, when they fight you. just be good and loving to them beacuse when they see how good you are , they will give up fighting you since they will feel like total idoits. it's like speaking to a stone

postive attitude + encouragement = love + favour = happiness when people are postive towards you and encouraging, you feel loved and you receive favour hence this makes you happy

If everybody gave just one dollar a day, or even every month and put it together, that would make millions a month to help people who need it all over the world. It can also aid medical research and research on how to end global warming and pollution.

World peace is if everyone could just put aside all the cultural and political differences and just get along with one another. There should be no need for hatred among one another especially toward various races and racial groups.

I will try yo do my best in order to substitute happiness in the world in place of hatred and prejudice. This is a hot and growing conflict which will make it easier on all of us if it gets tamed.
