Mark Twain once said, "The ancients stole all our good ideas." He was right. It seems we make the issue of the world so complicated with our self-interest and at the whim of leaders that somehow are misdirected to believe violence and aggression are the ingredients for peace.
Interestingly, we don't even need to invent something new. The ancients told us exactly what was needed....
"If there is righteousness in
the heart there will be beauty
in the character.
If there be beauty in the
character, there will be
harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the
home, there will be order
in the nation, there will be
peace in the world.
Confucius
(551-479 BC)
May PEACE find its way to heart. Hold that vision!
