2. The Big Picture

"We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon." -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt

 

There are so many people and organizations already working to try to make the world a better place. But there are so many different injustices, and people are so overwhelmed with just trying to live their own lives, that we only pay attention when a particular cause affects us.

If we could look at the big picture, we would see that each of those issues is really a piece of a larger peace on earth puzzle. Each focus is a pathway to the same ultimate goal - a pathway to peace.

If we were to convince the mainstream to strive for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, we would address all of the problems that endanger our future. We would transform our society into a culture of peace.

Perhaps peace on earth is an impossible dream. But a much better world is possible if we can convince society to make it a priority. A better world is within our reach, because there is already a movement for change all around us. In fact, it has existed throughout human history and it is on the verge of being recognized by the mainstream. We can work together to grow this movement and inspire others to join in and create a culture of peace.
