Peace is not the Absence of War

This true story of a lesson learned in the ancient city of Jerusalem may help you see a new way to look at people who are different. This single idea changed my life…

    Rick,

    Thanks for your blog post. I like what that man said about peace is when people who are different respect eachother. Defining peace in terms of war is like defining light as the absence of darkness. It’s not an accurate description.

    Aloha,

    Wow, that was awesome! If you had a site full of stuff like this, I’d come by every day :D

    We don’t know each other very well yet, but I do workshops about breaking out of negativity so people can feel better and have more of the kinds of experiences they’d like to have in life. I’m all about the positive message and how people can wake up from the dream and lift themselves up so they can see over the still sleeping masses.

    I don’t want tv or read most newspapers and magazines. I’m very selective in what I feed my head. I tend to really only frequent places that encourage people to rise. It keep me on the path I want to be on so that I can stay fired up about the work I do (and the work you do).

    I love this and some other things you have here at the site. You have a great personality that’s warm and friendly – very engaging.

    Imagine what would happen if all us in this similar vein of work, kept each other fired up and played off each to create more work in the same vein. Imagine what we could accomplish in this world, what a massive movement of positive change we could be. Wow.

    Great vid, Rick. I’m diggin’ on your site changes too. It even looks inspiring :D

    Man, that was full of typos. I’m sorry :( I got too excited lol.

    In P3 “want tv” should be “watch tv” and in the same paragraph “keep me” should be “keeps me”

    Now if you can just get the politicians of the world to use that quote as a mantra every morning as they look into their bathroom mirrors

    “peace is when people who are different respect each other!”

    That’s a beautiful line Rick!

    My DISC scores changed after I quit working for a large company after 30 years.

    It was like moving into a new life with more laughter and not taking life so seriously.

    I am still in that state :-)

    Thanks for sharing the video.
