The PEACE AND LIFE® pendant is a simple way to promote peace. And among the myriad ways to promote peace, the simple ways may well be the best ways. But in a world in which we more often seem to embrace complexity for its own sake—consider the current state of politics, both domestically and internationally, to get a sense of the truth of that statement—it may also be true that we are blindly choosing complexity, despite the possibility that a simpler approach to achieving peace is available to us.
Our Children Are Keys To A Peaceful Future
One possible approach that employs a simple and easy way to promote peace is to empower children to embody the values that come naturally to them throughout their lives. Their sweet nature and playful demeanor deteriorate over time because we adults allow it to. We teach them that the world is an untrusting and untrustworthy place that is often ruled by fear. But if we empower children to challenge their fears (in as simple a way as, say, their first ride down the big slide at the park) and encourage other children to do the same, maybe we set in motion a trend characterized by more and more adults encouraging other adults to overcome their fears.
To paraphrase Quincy Jones’s quote, children are the answer to a lot of questions. Our obligation to them is to do our best to give them a future with less violence in the world, a commitment to eradicating diseases, and creating systems that encourage the active valuing of life. The philosophy described above is contained in the simple symbol of the PEACE AND LIFE® pendant. When you wear the PEACE AND LIFE® pendant, you demonstrate your own commitment to peace and life. It is not only a simple gesture, it is an easy one too.
PEACE AND LIFE® Pendant: A Simple Way To Promote Peace
When you think about it, there is not a much simpler way of exhibiting the values of peace and life than by wearing the PEACE AND LIFE® pendant. Wearing it communicates your desire to create a more peaceful world, and it takes next to no effort to do so. Your awareness of its message cannot help but be communicated to your own children, who are likely to be positively affected by your choice to live more peacefully. It is said that a butterfly flapping its wings in Asia becomes a hurricane blowing in North America. But let’s change that to say that a butterfly flapping its wings in Asia becomes a gentle breeze flowing through the hair of a peaceful child playing on a playground in North America.
