Imagine!

What if?...

     What if...there was dialogue instead of debate or argument?
     What if...people of different backgrounds, different cultures
                   began a discourse?
     What if...differing people began to understand each other?

Would it change...

     Would it change...how we see each other?
     Would it change...how we think about each other?
     Would it change...how we treat each other?

Imagine, what if?

Imagine!
Imagine!
Peace!
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
Matthew 5:9

"One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means."
Martin Luther King Jr.

‘Then he became one of those who believed and recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to piety and compassion.’
(Surat-al-Balad (90), ayah 17)

"I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, one's own family or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace."
H.H. The Dalai Lama

"If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies."
Moshe Dayan

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace,"
Isaiah 52:7

"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
Buddha
