Let there be Peace

Let there be Peace on Earth. We all need to show Love and kindness toward one another.

The spirit of Christmas which is peace;
The heart of Christmas which is love."

And let it begin with me.

          "Four candles slowly burned, the ambiance was so soft one could almost hear them talking... The first candle said "I am Peace. The world is full of anger and fighting. Nobody can keep me lit." Then the flame of Peace went out completely.

          The second candle said "I am Faith. I am no longer indispensable. It does not make sense that I stay lit another moment." Just then a breeze softly blew away Faith's flame.

          Sadly the third candle began to speak: "I am Love. People don't understand my importance so they simply put me aside. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." And waiting no longer, Love's flame went out.

          Suddenly a child entered the room and saw the three unlit candles. "Why aren't you burning? You are supposed to stay still lit 'til the end." Saying this the child began to cry.

          Then the fourth candle answered: "Don't be afraid. I am Hope. While I am still burning we can re-light the other candles." With shining eye the child took the candle and lit the other candles.

          The greatest of these is Love... but the flame of Hope should never go out of your life. With Hope each of us can live with Peace, Faith and Love."

People aren't that interested in peace. Peace is as easy to find as a unicorn lately lol. Controversy and conflict are the rule of the day. People like to argue. Nice thread though. Finding ways for inner peace probably would help us be more peaceful with others.
