We worry about wars globally, but not in our own neighbourhood.
Yet they can be emotionally debilitating and it is not given the attention it should.
Peace is not a concept that can be taught.
It is a way of life, a foundation of living, otherwise all is for nought.
There are little things that each and everyone of us can do.
Follow a few basic steps, I know my words are true.
Give a complete stranger a smile each and every day.
Be attentive to what a friend or colleague has to say.
Be generous in whatever way you can.>
It is no good just burying your head in the sand.
Talk to people that may be lonely without them even telling us.
There is no need to make any special fuss.
Embrace a colleague or stranger warmly.
Show them that you do really care.
These are a few basic tips to make the world a better place.
Then there will be peace amongst friends, nations and all the worlds divers races.
