Quote of the day

"Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson -

It is known. From many, many years, but some of us still live for the ancient 'eye for an eye'. Even if i remember somebody saying that one humanity looking for an eye for an eye will end up with a world full of blind people. Understanding conflicts is difficult. You need to get immersed trough a whole culture or two, to learn about the past mistakes and the future hopes. You need to think about what you are doing. You need to wake up. That why most of the times the schools, the writers or the teachers are the main targets in a conflict. Because, for the ones gaining something from a war, they are fully aware that words are more powerful than bullets. We've seen that often, not many years ago, the final blow to some totalitarian regime was not done by a mighty army, but by a 12 years girl talking about it around the world. And the examples are many. Let's get in touch with our hippie side, and for a moment try to be love, not war.

Good night.
