Is there a path to peace?

It’s a rough wake up call each morning when we're met with headlines of ongoing conflict and chaos everywhere. But if we persist, we can find uplifting stories beneath the rubble: heartwarming accounts of people risking their lives to help others, sharing their own scant food supplies with people they don’t know. There's still good to be found in our world.

How much longer will this conflict and chaos continue? Millions of people around the world are speaking out for justice and peace. This is what people everywhere want. But how do we find peace? Where do we even start? Is world peace even possible?

All the major world religions speak of a promised age of Peace. What if we dare to imagine that peace is possible? What if we made justice a priority? What if we could look at strangers as friends we haven’t met yet? Can we move beyond “us” vs. “them” and begin to see “Our Family”?

“The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.” ~ from the Baha’i perspective
