The Power of the People: Peace
By Dr. Gabriella Kőrösi
I opened my eyes today and I knew what I needed to write about. I can see it. Is it really possible? I see a rain drop. Not even a full force of a rain drop. In the beginning it is more like particles of mist. Imagine a misty morning. Stepping outside and feeling the gentle fresh water on your face. Small particles. Small wishes and hopes. That is how it starts. Small. A small part in each and every one of us.
Could we do this? Is this something people want? Is this something you want? I do believe so. I do believe that most people want peace. Peace in our hearts, our souls, and our neighborhoods. Peace for our families, friends and loved ones. Currently, we have over 7.8 billion people living on this planet we call earth. 7.8 billion people. A lot of power lives in numbers. If for example 7.7 billion people want peace, equity, love, caring, support, appreciation, and kindness in this world why 0.1 billion can stop this from happening? Why we have wars? Why we have fights over power and money? Why a few in power can decide how the rest of the people live and die?
Could 7.7 billion misty particles wake up and demand a better world? Not with tear gas and guns but with love, kindness, and appreciation for each other and what we have in this earth? Could you wish the best for your neighbor and support them when they need support? How about the person struggling down the street? How about someone you don’t know? Could we show that we can all be better? Could we look and treat each other as humans without judgement? Can we grow from a misty small particle to a full blown raindrop? A raindrop that has a peaceful force that sweeps away the few that want the distraction of peace? Is it possible? How many raindrops will it take to fill our dried out rivers again, to bring bounty to places where forests were cut down? How many trees could we plant if we all just plant one? At least 7.7 billion. What you think? Will you be one of those rain drops? Will you be part of a river bringing hope and peace for the future?

Yes, dear friend …I’m trying hard . But see, often it feels like SADNESS is huge like the ocean and HAPPINESS is a tiny fragile pearl hiding in the bottom of it … often it breaks in our own hand on our way up, before we succeed to bring it to the surface . ^o^
My dear Friend, I hear you. I understand that the surrounding darkness and sadness can be overwhelming. I know there are hard times and challenging situations in life that words can not even describe. My hope is that the small tiny pieces of fragile hope will form stronger and stronger bonds to a pearl that wont break when you bring it to the surface. Even then it will need work and attention to keep strong. Your idea made me think of a sand castle that washes away no matter how much time and energy was spent building it. Yet, if… Read more »
