"Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war." -Maria Montessori
I truly believe that kindness matters and if we can strengthen the trait of compassion that humans show to one another, animals, and their environment it would rule out many of the problems and challenges we face in the world today and for our children's future.
We Must Teach Peace by Example, Not Words.
All living things on this planet are deeply connected to each other so every action we make affects our world, our planet Earth, and it's inhabitants. If we as parents and teachers do not teach our children to live in peace with each other, the environment, and all living creatures, who will?We cannot teach peace through words alone. We must teach by example, by the way we interact with others, by the way we treat our animals, by the way we respect our environment. Our children observe our actions and follow our lead. We are responsible for the future generation who will inherit our planet.
We can teach love, peace, empathy, and compassion to our children, empowering them with the knowledge and confidence to make a difference in their own world.
"We can't change anything unless we believe that our actions really matter.
My daughter's Montessori school director said something that I really loved so I saved her quote for future inspiration. I believe her words are true and are words to live by... "We can't change anything unless we believe that our actions really matter. If everyone had empathy for others and really cared about each other and about the world that we live on, we would find a way to meet all of the challenges that we face."
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without." -Buddha
Simple kindness may be the most vital key to the riddle of how human beings can live with each other in peace.
"In the midst of global crises such as pollution, wars and famine, kindness may be too easily dismissed as a "soft" issue, or a luxury to be addressed after the urgent problems are solved. But kindness is the greatest need in all those areas -- kindness toward the environment, toward other nations, toward the needs of people who are suffering. Until we reflect basic kindness in everything we do, our political gestures will be fleeting and fragile.Simple kindness may be the most vital key to the riddle of how human beings can live with each other in peace, and care properly for this planet we all share." Quote by Bo Lozoff

- Yeah, we need to teach peace and find alternatives to violence. It needs to begin at home and then in the schools. Nicely crafted and well presented lens. Thank you for sharing it. Hope you will visit my new lens about emotional healing. Gary Eby, author and therapist.
