The beauty of an angel is most appreciated by those who have met with the devil

War is the acme of idiocy
There is no doubt about that
You better avoid it at all cost
But from the perspective of life
We see a message written in blood
It says
"Only those who have seen the horrors of war
Can fully understand the meaning of peace"
I came from a war-torn nation in Africa
I know what war has done to my Somalia
The price of peace is unimaginably dear
I warn those of you who take peace for granted

Peace requires strength of values and a willingness of listen and compromise. War requires brute strength. Of these two, peace is much harder to achieve, yet, it is the most fulfilling. I,too, pray that all leaders will strive for peace. Its legacy is much better.

God bless you. Kathy

It saddens me to know that there are so many people that do take peace for granted. I, myself, have always stressed the need and importance of peace among all people, all nations, and with Nature. We must strive for peace, it is so important to mankind and creatures alike.
You send amazing messages out to everyone, I pray people listen,
Give Peace a Chance, was a slogan in the 70's, what happened?
Much love, light, and most of all peace to you my dear friend,
Amber "V"

Only those who've tasted the flames of hell can fully appreciate what Heaven's cooling balm of peace really feels like. An excellent message - it could happen here.

((((HUGS)))), love and prayer, Karla.

I believe you are sadly right, my friend.

Beautifully penned words of wisdom, Abdi.

I pray that peace comes to your nation; I pray for you every day. Seems that some people never learn that fighting, violence is not the way to absolve your problems. Sad! Very well penned; bravo!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend/sister in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :(
