Building a Culture of Peace for the Children of the World
A new month with a new mission.
Its since few months, I am chatting with my new friend on Google Talk and today is the day we met and interacted face to face. I am deeply honoured by his thoughts and views about a great mission set in the city of Chennai “Building a Culture of Peace for the Children of the Worldâ€, A Culture of peace exhibit Organized by BSG. More information, see http://buildingacultureofpeace.blogspot.com
The Exhibition was started on June 24, 2007, 5 pm to 7.30 pm at ICSR Auditorium, IIT Madras. This was inaugurated by M. S. Swaminathan “a Indian agriculture scientist, the “Father of the Green Revolution” in India.
The Inauguration photos are available @ soka youth
Some of the panals in the Exhibition can be found @ http://cultureofpeaceexhibit.org
Please share view on the topic Building a Culture of Peace for the Children of the World.
In my view :
To change the present problems (war, non-violence etc) in the world is to start it from the children. By negotiation and peace talk we may convince the present world to certain extent but eradicating the war/non-violence is quiet tough in the present generation. Its high time to teach our kids about war,non-violence and create awareness to provide them a BRAVE NEW WORLD; so that tomorrow generation will never see any blood shed or war.
As George Bernard Shaw rightly quoted:
“I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.â€
Following are some of quotes i have taken from the exhibition.
It is not the violence of a few that scares me.It is the silence of the many. — Martin Luther King, Jr
If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children. – M.K. Gandhi
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about be a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind. – Jawaharlal Nehru
The love of one’s country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border? – Paslo casals
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. – Albert Einstein
Following are some of the snaps shots taken by myself at the exhibition.
This is very small collection. There are 100s of them.
See the kids curiosity! Taking notes! May be next peace maker.
