One Day of Peace. Peace One Day

One Day of Peace: Jeremy Gilley


What if we have one day of peace..what would it be like? What would you do? What would the world look like?

How timely. At the SGI meeting last night, we were talking about peace and violence. What happened when everything is destroyed in an instant? What is the point of living? or even creating anything at all?

Is there a starting day of peace? Is there one? Maybe. But what if we begin now, what if we do it for a day...just one day of peace.

an effort of one single individual who is stubborn enough. no matter what people say. can change the world. even just for one day. one day. is enough. isn't it? if we all take charge of one day. to create a day of peace. we don't need many people. right?

A letter from Taliban was received, saying that they would observe the day of peace. Humanitarian works wouldn't be kidnapped. 1.6 Million children was vaccinated against polio as a consequence of everyone stopping. 70% of violence was reduced in Afghanistan in one day. can you imagine? Future isn't something you can fathom. You have to dream the future. Invent the future. Then do everything, give up everything to realize that dream. It is the only way to live the most meaningful and fulfilling existence.

It's all about individuals. The power of one individual empowering people to unite.

Dialogue and Individuals. Determination and Consistency.

"By working together, we can create peace one day." -- Jeremy Gilley
