GRANDFATHER'S
CORNER
Social Issues & Links
- I believe the vast majority of my fellow citizens
on this planet hunger for world peace. War, war, and more
war. This has been the plaque of our human race since its creation. Five
thousand
years
ago some people asked Confucius if war could ever stop. He
answered yes. They then asked him if he new how. Again he answered in
the affirmative.
They asked him to please explain. His answer is as true now
as it was 5000 years ago. Confucius taught that if a person wants world
peace,
first and foremost they must be at peace with themselves.
Then and only
then they must establish peace within their immediate family,
then their extended family, then community, then city, then country,
and finally
the world. To be at peace with ourselves means to be at peace
with
our Creator who resides within each and every one of us and His
natural laws
which He writes on each and everyone of our souls. Do you
see the power of that statement. It means each and everyone of us has
the power of significantly
contributing to world peace. There is a song whose verses go something
like this, "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me".
So true! If you and I
are hungry for peace we should not complain about war but to begin
with ourselves and our family.
- I am 64 years old. Before I die it is my desire to write
a book titled, "Road to Peace". It is going to
draw from the above principles. It is going show the applications
of these principles on the individual
bases, community bases, leading up to the international bases.
I am assembling a multi-culture, race, ethnic, religion/non
religion, gender team to assist
in this vast and challenging undertaking. If you are interested
in contributing, please send me an email to the email address
below. The progress on the
development of this book will be outlined on this web site.
- Below are links to our efforts to world peace titled
simply,
"Road to Peace". There is also links to organizations
that address peace with ourselves (i.e. assuring we and our
leaders have our values aligned
with principles of life) and within/between our communities.
The Seeds of Peace is an outstanding organization whose mission
is to bring children from historic warring factions together
to better understand each other. It is much harder to hate
someone with whom you have shared good times. This organization
is truly planting Seeds of Peace.
Road to Peace
- I belong to the Democratic Party, however, I do
not propose one party over another. There are people of good will belonging
to either party. Either party has room for improvement. The Republican
Party needs to be more sensitive to social issues. The Democratic Party
needs to be more sensitive to the rights of the unborn. This ties in
to the Road to Peace since we cannot bring Peace to the World unless
we are at peace with ourselves, and we cannot be at peace with ourselves
unless our values are aligned with the laws of human interaction (Principles).
Recognizing this I belong to and am active in the Democratis for Life.
