Mission Statement  

"Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding." - Albert Einstein _________________________________________________________________________________ My reason for starting a peace movement wasn't developed overnight, it wasn't because of one specific event, it was something that came to me gradually as I have grown. It started when I chose to stop and look at the environment around me and realize I wouldn't want to raise children in a world that is increasingly declining in moral, communicative, and spiritual ethics. On top of that I have come to see people are losing touch with what is truly important, what has happened to our priorities? Do we not care about our planets future through our childrens eyes anymore? What has made us lose respect for mother nature? Why do we see the wrong and still do wrong? Where has the motivation for that helping hand gone? ______________________________________________________________________________ I'm not asking for money, I'm not looking for confrontation, I just want people to open their eyes and mind to the idea of change. ______________________________________________________________________________ Have you ever heard the saying, "You cannot love someone until you learn to love yourself"? Yet everyday I see people not doing what they love to do, eating unhealthy, being stuck in situations that make them miserable, thinking,"Oh well I'll change it tomorrow, or some day." ______________________________________________________________________________ I've talked to many people and asked them,"What do you want out of life?" I don't think I've ever heard "I don't know", more times to any question I've ever asked than this one. Can you answer it? ______________________________________________________________________________ "People Everywhere Are Capable of Change." ______________________________________________________________________________ Go out and do one good thing a day, or at the least once a week. ______________________________________________________________________________ Do something you wish someone would have done for you when you needed help the most. ______________________________________________________________________________ Do something to better your life, work out, read a book, spend time with yourself. ______________________________________________________________________________ Be a good role model to a child ______________________________________________________________________________ Let go of the negative in your life, the things that only bring you down or hold you back ______________________________________________________________________________ Life is too short to look back and wonder where the time went, why you didn't do anything when you were fully capable of doing something. The love is inside of us all, if we look past our hardships, because yes, believe it or not we have all had them, the love is there to be shared. If you hold on to the things that are not important in progressing you forward in life, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually then it is only your fault, and no one else's. Take responsibility for your actions, and the rest will follow. Do what makes you happy. Don't take yourself too seriously, you'll never make it out alive, and remember that love is what makes the world go around, nothing else. Unleash the love, the peace from inside of yourself, make this world a better place.

In times, people are faced with many tough decisions. Some are faced with intricate feelings of anguish the can never come into fruition due to the suppression of their surroundings. Thus it has become apparent that many never reach their full potential due to their environment; due to violence and the rhetoric of vile politicians and corrupt governments. But it has come time for change to occur. Progress will not subside. It is now time for crusaders of Peace to become the majority. Imagine a world with out drive by shootings, terrorism, depleted social security, hostile governments, a ravaged environment, a disgusting economy, and hungry children. This is a world that can never be reached because of the discretions of our fathers. People must transcend their own beings to fully grasp the world. People must be able to delve into the life of a poverty stricken child who's very next day is not taken for granted, since their is not enough food to eat. People must see it through the eyes of a daughter from Sierra Leone, who had her hand cut off from a machete since her father wanted to keep .5 percent of a diamond. A diamond that could be in your mother’s ear rights now. See it through the eyes of kid in Brooklyn who's better than Jordan, but can never find out because he’s killed by drug dealers. As a citizen of this earth we must learn that there is a cycle to life. Everything comes from the dirt and will soon return. Peace is not a tangible object; rather it is the essence of life. Many will be unable to attain this ideology. I will not blame this on you; rather I will blame it on the ignorant education system that has provided the institution of learning for you. This institution is all based on structure. Why do you think that school always had bells? So they can strip you of your being and create a new you. Who has to eat lunch at 11:00 as oppose to when you’re hungry. That’s why I will not blame you. But I just wish for everyone to see the potential in fulfilling a movement towards peace, especially in dire times like now. I chose this path because of the things that I have seen and done in my own life. Every one is capable of redemption, but it is the ones who are strong enough to circumvent their own ambitions, who will become successful in change. Imagine how many Maya Angelus, Shaquille O’Neils, Albert Einsteins, Notorious BIGs and Denzel Washingtons, there truly are, yet we may never distinguish them. This is a misfortune to us because we will never be able to see their contributions. I will soon be creating an essay on why change and peace must occur especially for our generation. It is our generation that must carry the largest burden since the conception of our modern civilization. I will provide for your factual evidence of why everyone must play their role in providing peace and change otherwise it will surely be the end of us. More to come.... Taz T
