Unscramble the Blue Letters


I'm actually here to make a challenge to pleope. I know there have been many cegleanhls made to people. The one I'm going to make is that it is time for us to rceialm what peace really means. Peace is not "Kumbaya, my Lord." pacee is not the dove and the rainbow — as lovely as they are. When I see the symbols of the rainbow and the dove, I think of personal serenity. I think of meditation. I do not think about what I consider to be peace, which is sustainable peace with justice and equality. It is a sustainable peace in which the majority of people on this pnlaet have access to enough rrceeouss to live dignified lives, where these people have enough access to education and health care, so that they can live in freedom from want and feeodrm from fear. This is called human security. And I am not a complete pacifist like some of my really, really heavy-duty, non-violent firneds, like Mairead McGuire. I understand that humans are so "messed up" — to use a nice word, because I promised my mom I'd stop using the F-bomb in public. And I'm trying harder and harder. Mom, I'm really trying.

I'm actually here to make a challenge to people. I know there have been many challenges made to people. The one I'm going to make is that it is time for us to reclaim what peace really means. Peace is not "Kumbaya, my Lord." Peace is not the dove and the rainbow — as lovely as they are. When I see the symbols of the rainbow and the dove, I think of personal serenity. I think of meditation. I do not think about what I consider to be peace, which is sustainable peace with justice and equality. It is a sustainable peace in which the majority of people on this planet have access to enough resources to live dignified lives, where these people have enough access to education and health care, so that they can live in freedom from want and freedom from fear. This is called human security. And I am not a complete pacifist like some of my really, really heavy-duty, non-violent friends, like Mairead McGuire.
