Our future depends on peace

The chaos that has visited us during the last year (all over the globe) does not do us proud. Peace carved out of concern for others MUST become a common practice or this world is doomed. Our children’s and our grandchildren’s future depends on each adult to act in a way that this truth will be self-evident, that each person who will ever exist is created equal. We must remember that all words are hollow unless we each make a commitment to follow the master plan of peace to its completion. Our very future really does depend on this as we make peace a way of life, or eventually there will be no life on this earth.
