Hello, everyone. Peace, and how to keep it or encourage it, is such an important issue that it has not one day, but two to uphold it. This kind of day tries to remind us of how much we need peace in our lives on a daily basis and as a community.
According to Wikipedia (Bible of sorts for many such as me), is an observance founded by the Spanish poet Llorenç Vidal Vidal in Majorca in 1964 as a starting point and support for a pacifying and non-violent education of a permanent character. Different as the first proposed by the UNESCO "Armistice Day" in 1948, the "School Day of Non-violence and Peace" (DENIP) is observed on January 30 or thereabouts every year, on the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi, in schools all over the world.
So, my question for you today is... what would you do to prevent violence and share good will? And are you willing to do your part?
Be responsible for yourself. Be nice to yourself.
