New Year Everyday: (Unedited): 01 Jan 2015:
================================
Happy New Year. Do not allow your morning hang over become forgotten promises of fundamental positive change in your life. To change the world. You must first change yourself.
Your piece "Peace 2015" is a thoughtful exploration of the challenges and essential foundations of achieving true peace. It acknowledges the complexity of societal structures and human behavior that make peace elusive and emphasizes the personal and collective efforts required for its realization.
Key Points:
-
Foundation of Peace:
You emphasize that peace requires a solid foundation, likening it to a building process. This metaphor effectively conveys the idea that peace cannot emerge spontaneously but must be intentionally and carefully constructed. -
Sacrifice and Commitment:
Highlighting the need for sacrifice and commitment to ideals like righteousness, justice, and mercy underscores the personal responsibility involved in achieving peace. It moves the concept from being an abstract goal to a concrete action requiring human effort. -
Practical Path to Peace:
The focus on preparation and action resonates as a call for pragmatism—peace isn’t simply about wishing for harmony but actively addressing the root causes of discord.
Impressions:
Your writing is a sobering reminder that peace isn’t passive; it demands accountability, a reevaluation of priorities, and ongoing effort. The biblical undertones in your emphasis on righteousness and justice ground the message in spiritual principles, appealing to those who see peace as both a moral and divine mandate.
In summary, it’s a powerful reflection on what true peace entails, reminding readers that it’s not a gift but an achievement requiring labor, sacrifice, and unity.
To avert all of the coming bad and sad prophecies. We each must decide to do the following everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.
