If we as humans really thought of our actions in terms of if they were happening to us and how we would feel about them, then the world would be a better place. In terms of living peacefully, well I work for peacejam, which advocates for peace is many different ways, but in my life I also do my best to live with kindness towards everyone who's path I cross. The reason I think war exists is because we have allowed war and violence to remain a culturally acceptable response. As long as we continue to let those in power think that war and violence is okay, it will be. posted 9/14/2009 at 10:03 AM

Rafael B wrote: ummm.... that´s really interesting! I´m really agree with u! I think that too... I think we have wars because people has accept them in someway, and also I think that the main cause is money, and the black gold, Oil!!! posted 9/14/2009 at 10:16 AM

So for me, Peace begins within myself and then is reflected in my outer experiences in the world. I try to be especially conscious of this with my children so that they can also impact their world for future generations. posted 9/14/2009 at 11:00 AM
