Striving for Peace
Strive for universal peace, seek the means of love, and destroy the basis of disagreement so that this material world may become divine, the world of matter become the realm of the Kingdom and humanity attain to the world of perfection. Baha’i writings

Some ordinary people - and some pretty extraordinary ones too.
What were they doing on 21 September, World Peace Day? What were you doing? Can you remember? I don’t keep a diary, other than this blog, but I did contribute a diary entry to a little book — Make a Difference in Just One Day - Practical Peace Diaries from Around the World! — and it has just been published as an e-book, so I was able to read what I, along with a whole lot of others, was doing on that day.
If you read the newspapers, or watch TV or get your news from the Internet, you may not see the practical things that so many millions of people are doing to make peace happen - yet there are probably many, many more people striving in some way to make their planet a place of peace than there are those who would destroy it. This little books gives some insights into the hopes, aspirations and efforts of just some of them. Worth reading!
