Do we really and truly believe in the possibility of peace and the sanctity of life? We would all like to think so. But when our world is seemingly falling apart due to incessant war, political machinations, and the constant threat of violence, it is often incredibly difficult to find reasons for hope and to be positive. But there are benefits to doing the hard work of being hopeful in a violent world. We find it in proverbial random acts of kindness from strangers, from signs of support from loved ones when we are going through difficult times, and maybe even from cute cat videos on the internet.
Symbols Have Real Power
But when those things are in short supply, to where do we turn? Whether we realize it or not, we also find hope and strength in the power of symbols. In the 1960s and 1970s, the counterculture flashed the peace symbol and it might well have helped to end the war in Vietnam. Winston Churchill inspired Brits and their allies in World War II by flashing the V for Victory sign. Symbols have power.
None are more powerful today than that of the peace and life symbol, which can be purchased in a variety of artistic forms. Shop ro the PEACE AND LIFE® Pendant Necklace to get a sense of the power of the unique symbolism it offers. Contained in a circle are upward pointing arms signifying the necessity of peace to a world on the precipice of falling apart, and downward facing arms to ground us in the belief that all life is important and precious.
Underlying the design seems to be a belief in the potential each of us, as individuals, has to change the world for the better. Wearing the PEACE AND LIFE® pendant/symbol is an indication of our individual effort to be a positive force for change. But not merely neutral change—instead, it is aimed at change that is sustainable and peaceful and respectful of all life.
Keep the PEACE AND LIFE® Pendant Close To Your Heart
The PEACE AND LIFE® pendant/symbol has the potential to be a reminder not only to the person who wears it but to all who see it being worn to remind us of our responsibilities as citizens of a shared world to do all we can to be more peaceful, kind, and respectful. The effort required to be more peaceful, kind, and respectful often requires great effort and expense of psychological energy. Wearing the PEACE AND LIFE® pendant, however, takes little effort and may actually empower you to feel ready for the many challenges we face today.
