To attain peace is to understand one another, foremost is to understand oneself. To know one another is to know oneself. To help one another is to help oneself. To love each other is to love oneself. To attain peace, therefore, is to understand, to love, to know and help one another, as well as oneself. But one cannot be at peace without being at peace with one's GOD! Being at peace with God, one attains lasting peace - peace of mind and peace with one's soul.

World peace emanates from just one single peaceful person who understands the evils of war.
