We vote for the people who can feel the pulse of the public.Kinnera wrote:While everyone has an opinion, I think in the long run, it matters very little unless there is a public representative who echoes the feelings of the majority well.

I agree. Attainment of self peace is already challenging.Miriam Molina wrote:World peace is just too big a dream. We can all start with self peace, then graduate to home peace. One step at a time. Peace in our homes is already a wonderful achievement.

I think this is true especially with what goes on in my country at times...I feel as though the "appointed leaders" have more to do with that than anything else despite what individuals think or what the general public wants, unless it's near the election period when they'll do what they think the people want in order to gain votes & the funny thing is, the people fall for it each time.

I agree. Understanding other people is a hard and challenging task but understanding is an ingredient of peace.Anirudh Badri wrote:Understanding the people of the world is the first step to peace. Understanding leads to tolerance, which is sadly lacking today.

You have to know what you want for yourself in order to help others. When you see someone crying out for help, instead of turning your backs on them, try to assist. Whether you can help directly or get assistance from someone else.
That person you ignored may be the next mass murderer. Maybe all they needed was lunch and took a deal for the money to feed themselves and family
