Peace First: Stop the Violence and Start the Peace

Every day or so we turn on the news and hear a horrible story about violence. We may feel that this is a distant experience as if this is in some imaginary far off world and that we wouldn't or couldn't become the victim. Unfortunately, violence in America and most of the world is a very real occurance with high statistics.


If we don't raise our youth to stop the violence than how will we protect ourselves. I used to share the common mentality that violence only happened to "other people." I then read the statistics on violence and discovered how troubling and how frequent in our society that crime occurs. The fact of the matter is we are either too lazy or in denial to be aware of the real dangers and focus more on the more rare unrealistic dangers. If we focused on the realities of violence and not on the "myths" or catchy phrases that are sold to us by the media on crime we would be able to spread more peace and prevent ourselves from falling prey to criminals. We don't want to believe that violence happens because then we have to accept the fear. I want to say to you: do not deny your fears instead embrace your fear. Love your fear and learn how to protect yourself by using that fear.

Donate today to encourage peace and not only will you be creating a safer life for yourself and the ones you love but also for the future.
