In the first episode of the Star Wars trilogy, Yoda makes a comment something like "Anger breeds fear, fear breads hate, and hate breeds suffering." I think that this is true, no http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=15 Sat, 9 Jun 2007 15:19:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=15 "Stand Up for what's right, even if you are standing alone." How true. Stand Up and be counted for your pacifist views. Don't keep them hidden inside, what good are they there? Stand up for peace and say you care. Caring is the first step to stopping http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=14 Sat, 2 Jun 2007 10:42:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=14 "Never think a small group of committed people can't make a difference. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has." I heard that on a promo for a PBS special. And, if you think about it, it is true. So never say to yourself "Oh, it doesn't matter w http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=13 Sat, 26 May 2007 15:06:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=13 The world is like a ball of string (How profound is that!), it's all tangled up and will literally take centuries to untangle. With problems like poverty,cancer, AIDS and holes in the ozone layer, why add another knot? If people would just stop picki http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=12 Sun, 20 May 2007 14:38:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=12 I am sure all of us have experienced a klutzy moment and ended up with some scar tissue as a reminder. It happens to me all the time. Well, I think that war can be like that in a way. Young men (and women) join the military as a way to support their http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=11 Sun, 13 May 2007 17:37:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=11 Okay, now I know this is a website dedicated to peace and therefore we are against the military, but still. I know the military branches are the ones who are going over there and killing people, but I still think they deserve our respect. We may not http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=10 Sat, 5 May 2007 14:17:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=10 "The attractive rainbow that rises in showers of blood." Abraham Lincoln. If one of the most famous presidents had this realistic view of war, shouldn't we? I have been reading a book about the military. And I realized that the honor and glory that s http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=9 Sat, 28 Apr 2007 11:26:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=9 I'm sure all of you were horrified by the shooting that occurred during this week at Virginia Tech. The largest school shooting in America's history. All those people who were shot down like deer. These people were innocent,uninvolved parties who wer http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=8 Sun, 22 Apr 2007 12:45:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=8 War is a Dirty Thing. This may sound like a stupid remark, but stupid remarks often are true. I have been doing some research and I have found statistics for the POW's and MIA's from World War Two up through the 1991 Gulf War. Try to put these statis http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=7 Sat, 14 Apr 2007 12:40:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=7 Life is overwhelming if you think about it too hard. So many things are happening and you start to get a feeling of helplessness after a while. So many horrible events are occurring and so many things need to be fixed. If we can help solve one of the http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=6 Sat, 7 Apr 2007 09:59:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=6 What ever happened to compassion? I think it has become a lost art. We come to people to spread the American way. And then we take everything too seriously.

Before anyone decides to go to war, shouldn't they decide who and what they are fighting? I mean, it's just common sense. After the September 11 attacks there was a burst of patriotism throughout the country. People were not thinking http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=4 Sat, 24 Mar 2007 15:41:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=4 When you think about a perfect future, do you think about world peace? Well, at the risk of sounding like a defeatist, the reality is that world peace will be next to impossible to achieve. There are people in the world who are evil and want to kill. http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=3 Sun, 18 Mar 2007 12:50:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=3 Have you ever thought about how many wars/fights are caused by stupid things? I mean really, wars have been started over someone's cow!

We usually think of peace as a state of being, but it's more than that. It is a mental state and a way o http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=1 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 16:56:00 GMT http://peace.mennolink.org/cgi-bin/blog/11.cgi?view=1
