We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:
Petition to End War
Target: Kofi Annan, Secretary General, United Nations Sponsor: Edwin Purcell
Signatures: 1,066
We call up on the leaders of all the countries of the world to end the violence and bloodshed. It is time for war to cease and for mankind to move forward into a new era of respect and cooperation.
Petition to End War
We, the people of the world, come together to tell the leaders of all countries that war on this planet must come to an end. If we are to survive as a species, we must stop wasting our limited reserves on killing one another and use them for our common survival. For far, far to long, we have sacrificed the precious lives of our fathers and mothers, our daughters and sons on futile attempts to achieve peace and prosperity through death and destruction. The time has come for all responsible people to say enough is enough. The insanity must end. All of the inhabitants of this small planet now speak in unison and you have no choice but to listen. We can, we must and we will put a stop to the slaughter. If you cannot lead us to a world where we expend our wealth and energy on feeding, housing and educating the generations to come, you must step aside. We will have many challenges in the days and years that lay before us. We will not squander our opportunities in an endless sea of blood. This is the time for us to become worthy of the name homo sapiens. Both our intellect and our intuition tell us peace is the only way forward.
Wouldn't this be a perfect day for IMAGINING all the people, living life in peace....
A petition has come up to make a John Lennon Day, Oct 9, his birthday - I personally think Lennon's "Imagine" is a song that is as inspirational as King's speech "I have a dream..." if you think so, too, please sign here:
(Thanks to Sofia Ringo, sponsor! - I can't find you Sofia to thank you, hope you see this, though! )
Lennon contributed to the inspirations behind the alert below that I wrote after a creative brainstorming with friends here at Care2 - please, join and share freely (no copy-right!):
IMAGINE THE JOYS OF PEACE
Everyday at noon, please, stop for a short moment and imagine the joys of peace....
That's all!
Just take a few seconds to imagine all soldiers abandoning their weapons and going home to their welcoming families and friends. Imagine the feasts... Imagine the relieved turning back to ordinary life and things that really matter.Imagine the caring and collaboration. Imagine a decent life for everyone.
Imagine all this and concentrate for a little while on the essence of joy for you. - In your mind's eye see the joys peace brings, in vivid realistic pictures. Breathe deeply, peacefully ... relax.
Imagine the joys of peace...
Fill your heart with the joy of peace...
That's all!
Imagine peace at noon:
Please make it a daily practice, or prayer, meditation, visualization, blessing, call it by any name.
Imagine and join people world wide at noon in this peaceful and effortless peace-movement for everyone. You can do it alone or in groups, where ever you happen to be. You can also do it when it's noon in another time zone. Just imagine it vividly!
Imagine the joys of peace at noon!
Thanks and all the best to you!
