A Thought for Our Times

     This quote is from David Krieger, and is so relevant to our times.

     Peace is active, not passive.  You can't sit back and wait for peace to come to you.  You must work for it.  You must shake off your apathy and demand it.  This is not always easy in a culture of war, such as we have in the U.S., but it is necessary.      

     It is clear that war makes great demands on its participants.  We need to think of peace in the same way.  Peace is not the absence of war or the space between wars; it is a goal to be achieved by actively demanding that the world's governments find nonviolent means of settling disputes.

     Go forth, peace warriors.
