Violence

"Who is in error compensates with violence what it lacks in truth and virtue." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


Gandhi - "I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and nonviolence are as old as the mountains."

Today ongoing conflicts are 25: in Iran, Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chad, Nigeria, Somalia, Uganda, Sudan, Congo (DR), Angola, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Colombia ... and that's not all.
Last week, in all countries at war, have died at least 636 people: 213 Taliban in Pakistan, 149 in Afghanistan, 52 in Iraq, 46 in Somalia, 33 in Sudan, 27 in Colombia ... (from 28/05/2009 to 04/06/2009)

Martin Luther King - "Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."


The Dove - by Picasso

Valentina from Russian Federation - I want the world to become more peaceful place. I'd want people to finally realize that wars bring much more sorrow than achievements. Deaths, tears are too big price for lands.
Through my music I want to make people understand that they can do everything. If you envy, you just waste your time and your power - this time you could spend improving yourself. I want to see the world where a person can do whatever he wants, where trying and wanting is enough.
I can keep my heart clean and sincere. I can continue being honest, unenvious and supportive. I can still express my thoughts and feelings in my music and try to let people understand me through my performing.
I can keep explaining people why they should be nice to others. I can believe in miracles and let others believe as well.


Katelynn from United States - Well my father is in Iraq so when I get older I would like the war to end and the world to be at peace.I would hate to see my father have to go back to fight someone elses battles.
