Others
could not be
touched
by love. They held to their prejudices, their grudges and their
defenses. How
sad to have been an acquaintance of Jesus or Buddha or St. Francis or
some
other great being and have missed the opportunity to share in the peace.
Peace
givers live now. People in this world live lives of
compassion and kindness. They are around us. We must wake up though to
recognize them and share in their peace.
It is perhaps not in our power to change the entire world instantly, but we can change ourselves. We can affect those around us by living in the spirit of love, by being more forgiving, more accepting, more honest. We can only do what we can do, but we can do something. What can you do?
