Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other forms of social media have connected us in ways that we are still struggling to understand. In some ways social media can be extremely positive. But in other ways—for instance, getting our news from those sources—the reliance we place on social media can result in unreliable information about world events. Life’s complexities seem intent on driving the point home that there are countless negative forces out there, trying to influence us in negative ways. Remaining positive amid so many negative forces can cause us to slip very easily into destructive patterns of thinking, feeling, believing, and living.
But there are also many positive forces in the world, reminding us that the occasional silliness of our social and political systems, the violence in the world around us, and the cynicism that seems so omnipresent can be combated by people who truly care to make the world a better place. The PEACE AND LIFE® Apparel & Jewelry are one of the forces combating the negativity in our world. The PEACE AND LIFE® Pendant affirms one’s commitment to positivity in the way it uses symbolism to fight back against the forces of negativity in subtle yet significant and unmistakable ways.
PEACE AND LIFE® Pendant: A Meaningful Expression
The pendant itself is an artistic expression that bears its name—the necessity of peace and respect for all life. The upward-facing arms, like the branches of a noble tree straining to touch the heavens, reach high for Peace. And the downward facing arms humbly supplicate out of respect for all living creatures. The component parts together serve as a kind of equalizer in our search for new ways to weave our way through the complexities of life in the twenty-first century. Imagine wearing the pendant and knowing that you are contributing to the positive energy in the world. The paradoxical familiarity-and-newness of the design almost guarantees that observers will ask about its origins. Describing its meaning to you, and how you are working to be a force for greater peace in the world, will give you an opportunity to share the power of its symbolism.
Wearing the PEACE AND LIFE® Pendant is likely to inspire you too, by making you mindful of the importance of peace and life. You can be a leader of a movement toward greater understanding of the world, which needs peace and respect for life so badly. The PEACE AND LIFE® pendant is a powerful reminder of what you are capable of giving to this world, and the impact you can have on it.
