From a culture of Violence to a culture of Peace:Transforming the Human Spirit
"Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding."
By Ralph Waldo Emerson
In an increasingly interdependent world, we share responsibility for the security of all human beings. Nuclear weapons-the most destructive of all our tools of war-are at the peak of a pyramid of violence. Conflict & mistrust between communities, crime ,domestic violence & abuse-even the biting comment-are all part of the larger culture of violence.
Our challenge is to rise above-to stop the rapid buildup of arms & forever ban the most fearsome weapons in history.
