    Heartbeat.

    “Bukra Fi Mishmish (Arabic for “when pigs fly” or for when the impossible happens)”

    Vid from local Israeli-Palestinian/Israeli youth music movement. Not bad for kids under 20. The rapper and co-founders came to perform for our class yesterday.

    It was great. And it proves you can’t always trust the warmongering leaders of a country to speak for kids. Kids are kids and most of them want #peace, it seems.

     
  5. Although we walk all the time, our walking is usually more like running. When we walk like that, we print anxiety and sorrow on the Earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the Earth. We can all do this, provided that we want it very much. Any child can do it. If we can take one step like this, we can take two, three, four and five. When we are able to take one step peacefully and happily, we are working for the cause of peace and happiness for the whole of humankind. Walking meditation is a wonderful practice.

    More on the quote from the man that started tweeting it:
“The point of the quote is to focus people on sources of mortality society-wide, because this focus can guide public policy efforts at reducing death. (Thus, the number is not a product of the base rate fallacy.) In my opinion, too many people are still transfixed by terrorism despite the collapse of Al Qaeda over the last decade and the quite manageable—indeed, the quite well-managed—danger that terrorism presents our society today.”

Here’s the rest of the blog he wrote about it at The Cato Institute.

  8. Bringing #Peace in Famine

    “Armed aggression is no longer the principal threat to our future. The overriding threats to this century are climate change, population growth, spreading water shortages and rising food prices,” says Lester Brown, the president of the Earth Policy Research Center in D.C.

    The whole interesting Guardian article this quote is from right here.

    As peacekeepers, we wonder, how do we bring peace to this time, with these threats to safety?

     
  9. If the entire history of mankind were condensed into a single year, our knowledge of how to destroy life on earth with weapons of mass destruction has been acquired in the last thirty seconds. Never again will we lack the knowledge to eliminate the world in a single act of madness. Therefore, we are faced with a dilemma unique in our history. We must not only control the weapons that can kill us, we must bridge the great disparities of wealth and opportunity among the peoples of the world, the vast majority of whom live in poverty without hope, opportunity or choices in life. These conditions are a breeding ground for division that can cause a desperate people to resort to nuclear weapons as a last resort. Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all…
