"One of the most persistent ambiguities that we face is that everybody talks about peace as a goal. However, it does not take sharpest-eyed sophistication to discern that while eveybody talks about peace, peace has become practically nobody's business among the power-wielders. Many men cry Peace! Peace! but they refuse to do the things that make for peace."
"An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind."
~Mahatma Gandhi

Dear Pia Maria
Lets strive together for Peace which is at the verge of extinction !!!
If that much distructive keys and formulas are in individual brains, then the same 'Constructive' ideas and philosophies they do possess!! It is the matter of which one is to be implemented after all individuals are human beings and tend to get the reverse or adverse effect. It was rightly put in Buddhist in Philosophy that, "We are our own masters".
pia maria, many than'ks for your peaceful words, particularly at this period.

PEARLS OF WISDOM
The language of Silence (Peace) is more powerful than the sound of words. when something is expressed in silence (through peace),it is with the power of thoughts. Such thoughts spread positive vibrations and reach out to others in such a way that words can't.
Winneres are go-givers not go-getters, and their definition of winning is not getting one over on the other but overcoming their inertia and giving something of themselves to someone or something other than themselves.
It is because you are determined, not flawless, that you attain perfection. ( PURITY BRAHMAKUMARIS )

pia maria so good to read peace quotes
appears u studied mahatma gandhi in detail
i belong to india the country whrere gandhi was born
it gives me immence pleasure to hear quotes from Gandhi through friends like pia maria
please continue ur efforts for search of peace
i also suggest u to study and learn meditation in a Brahma Kumaris centre near u
this is the institution which is fully devoted to establish peace in the world
and the god father has his plans worked through Brahmakumaris for world peace
what gandhi strived for the whole life and could not get , God Shiva is doing through Brahma kumaris , the world over
