My Dreams of Peace on Earth
When I close my eyes I see a world full of flowers and decorations, a world
without wars and violence. I see in the diversity of our world a magical, beautiful
harmony and order. Humanity is a rainbow of different cultures and races. Every
people must have its color and lifestyle. Big cities show me magical and mysterious
signs by their nighttime lights, but it gives me great pleasure to be in villages
as well. Culture and nature can exist in harmony.
I don't understand why people are in conflict with one another. The reasons
behind all wars seem absurd and insignificant to me. Conflicts destroy harmony
and cause intolerance and distrust. Distrust becomes barriers and limitations
between people and cultures. Culture is the bridge and path of spiritual exchange
for kind and beautiful ideas, deeds and endeavors. No one should be isolated
from kindness. No one should think that they can't change the world.
With kindness from all of us, we can find the harmony and peace to make our
planet a happy home for all humanity. This home should have a place for great
and small, new and old, strong and weak. I imagine the people on Earth as a
marvelous field full of multicolored flowers. Every nation is a living flower
with a unique color and smell. Together these flowers can give us real harmony
in diversity.
Since I was five years old, I've been collecting my innermost ideas and my little
living observations. I wish to share some of my personal vocabulary and my definitions
of different notions:
Beauty: Where all things are in order.
Freedom: Breath without obstacles.
Love: The feel of gluing together.
Life: The motion of sensation.
