If we believe in the necessity of peace and the sanctity of life, should we not also be willing to make public pronouncements about our convictions? When the world seems to be collapsing under its own weight and burdensomeness, it can be unfathomably difficult to find reasons to remain hopeful and positive. But there are benefits working hard and remaining hopeful in a violent and increasingly unpredictable world. Hope can be found in random acts of kindness from strangers (and from you), from signs of support from family and friends when life becomes difficult, and from other unexpected sources.
The Power Of Symbols In Our World
When those things are in short supply, what do we do? We may rarely, if ever, realize that we find hope and strength in the power of symbols. During the Civil Rights era and the Peace movement that followed, the counterculture flashed the peace symbol, which might well have hastened the end of the war in Vietnam. Winston Churchill inspired Brits and their allies in World War II by flashing the V for Victory sign. The STOP sign that catches our eye entering a dangerous intersection may save our lives.
No symbol is more important today than that of the PEACE AND LIFE® Pendant/Symbol , which can be purchased in a variety of forms including a pendant/necklace, earrings, bracelets, a keychain, t-shirts and giftware. Contained in a circle are upward pointing arms signifying the necessity of peace, and downward facing arms to ground us in the belief that all life is important and precious.
Promote Kindness, Love, Peace and Life
Underlying the design is a belief in the potential each of us, as individuals, to change the world for the better. Wearing the PEACE AND LIFE® symbol is an indication of our individual effort to be a positive force for change. But not merely neutral change but instead change that is aimed at sustainable and peaceful and respect for all life.
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 of our responsibilities as citizens of a delicate world to do all we can to be more peaceful, kind, and respectful. Wearing the PEACE AND LIFE® pendant takes little effort and may actually empower you to feel ready for the myriad challenges we face today.
