"Peace and tolerance needed!"
-More than just a statement. -Certainly needed in our world -NOW! You ask how? -More senseless violence and resulting deaths this past weekend, leads me to write my post today to encourage you to please speak about Peace and Tolerance with those you are surrounded with, when you can do so. Please...... So many people world-wide are rightly outraged by the many incidences of unnecessary violence, and the subsequent horrible loss of lives around our world. -What can you do? -Will you make a difference? -If you don't act, then who will? -If you can share the values and importance of acceptance, peace, tolerance, kindness: your ideas and need of these tenets with those around you; at work, at social gatherings, and especially among younger impressionable people in their teens and beyond, then by speaking up -yes- you will make a difference! - Social media has an undeniable impact on people worldwide. Both in a positive way and sadly a negative way too. -If your messages reinforce a positive and inclusive message for others to hear, it can change people. -Many times a lack of knowledge (of anything) can create fear in someone's mind or their outlook. -Lack of awareness of our sameness rather than our differences can sometimes lead to baseless hatred. -Give someone informed (and correct) knowledge so they are more able to make positive changes in their life. Their actions and opinions will flow on to their peers and so on. -Shed light on the fact that many internet sites exist that might not display factual information. -People are impressionable. Encourage those you are with to think rationally. To think beyond hate-speech. We need to have our world safe. For all of us. Now. Please share this message with your friends, your family, at your work and in your daily life. Thank you.
