The

Process

of

peace

building

starts

from

within

the

heart

of

each

individual;

when

this

is

shared

with

other

groups

and

cultures,

it

can lead to peace.

Peoples of the world should learn to live together on the basis of mutual respect and understanding, helping one another, sharing and caring for the benefit of all.

Conflicts & misunderstandings may occur, but the tolerant person is able to transform these conditions to positive ones by developing an ability to control heated emotions. “Peace must begin with each one of us. Through quiet and serious reflection on its meaning, new and creative ways can be found to foster understanding, friendship and co-operation among all people” (Javier Perez de Cuellar, Secretary General of the UlV, September 1986.)
