If it is peace you want, seek to change yourself, not other people. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to carpet the whole of the earth.
- Anthony DeMello
I finally got it in my 40's...how can we have peace in the world when people have war within themselves? Arguing with our little voices inside our head constantly. Having grudges and keep them inside our heart, as if they are our valued treasures. Not letting go of little misunderstandings. Remember, unforgiveness is self-imprisonment. How long do we need to self-imprison ourselves? How can we have peace in the world, when we are at war with ourselves? We march at anti-war protests but we are unwilling to look inside our hearts and stop the war inside.
Lets start with the peace within TODAY.
