There
is no time left for anything but to make peacework a dimension of our every waking
activity.
Frugality
is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet
one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption
society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed
to teach us the happiness of not having things.
"The
range of human activity that can be retuned to contribute to peace-building is
vast."
We must look towards societies that set a high value on nonaggression and noncompetitive
ness, and therefore handle conflicts by nonviolent means. We can see how child
rearing patterns produce nurturing adult behaviors.”
We’re
never going to have respectful and reverential relationships with the planet-
and sensible policies about what we put in the air, the soil, the water – if very
young children don’t begin learning about these things literally in their houses,
backyards, streets and schools. We need to have human beings who are oriented
that way from their earliest memories.”
