While peace is a universal symbol, it can have many meanings to each individual. Peace can mean finding inner tranquility and happiness with oneself. On a bit larger basis peace can mean finding balance in personal relationships, perhaps with one’s spouse, children, or even co-workers and neighbors. On a global level, peace can mean finding commonalities amidst differences in cultures and countries. It’s interesting how peace can conjure a different picture for each of us, yet it is such a connecting force and idea. PEACE AND LIFE® Pendants and T-Shirts look to harness that idea of peace and life and how, while it is different for everyone in exact meaning, the idea of peace is powerful nonetheless.
Our Supporters
Our PEACE AND LIFE symbol is meant to connect us all in the idea that “ONE PERSON BELIEVING IN PEACE AND LIFE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD”. Again, this idea is different for everyone, yet is so powerful because the concept can make the world a better place. Many of our customers view peace and life in different ways and their testimonials, although quite different, all lead back to the power of peace and life.
- One person shared her experience with finding peace and life following a painful breakup. When her world seemed to only have sadness and pain, she had a singular moment of finding peace and life. At the time of the breakup, she “felt no inner peace”. After learning to self soothe and finding happiness by going where she could find joy, she had a moment of realizing she could find that joy and peace. “It was a small moment, with a huge impact. And when I think of peace and life, I think about this day.”
- Yet another person looks at peace as feeling safe. “When I think of peace I think of feeling at ease, not scared or fearful. Peace is something you need in life to live comfortably.” This person writes about taking control of fears and worries to find peace and life.
- In a different take on peace and life, one writer describes meeting someone with a different color skin from himself for the first time. During a time of racial prejudice and segregation, he found a connection with someone who looked different from him. Yet once they got to know one another, he discovered there were no real differences between them, and they were connected with a love of track and field. “Life for the first time began to have meaning to me. How we live our lives is what is important. How we bring peace to the world and eradicate prejudice from our lives became meaningful to me.”
As you can see, each person has such an incredibly unique spin on peace and life, yet they each have a powerful meaning. PEACE AND LIFE looks to apply a tangible symbol to each of these ideas.
