One race...the Human race...

"We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race."

- Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations

"My country is the world, and my religion is to do good."

- Thomas Paine

We need to let go of tribalism and overly focusing on minor differences between us. We have much more in common than different. If we could only look past the petty things we zoom in on - we would see that we share many things in common - emotions, life experiences, family, hobbies, etc. We need to unite...now more than ever...as our world increasingly becomes a global village. Focusing on petty differences can lead to wars that we can ill afford - because this day in age, nobody wins. Our true enemy is war itself. Love, or at least tolerate, one another...please...

In Peace, Jennifer

The future potential of humanity...

We have this future potential...

"We have the ability to achieve, if we master the necessary goodwill, a common global society blessed with a shared culture of peace that is nourished by the ethnic, national and local diversities that enrich our lives."

- Mahnaz Afkhami

One way we can change the world is by cultivating peace and freedom within us, and then helping others to do so...

"And once we have the condition of peace and joy in us, we can afford to be in any situation. Even in the situation of hell, we will be able to contribute our peace and serenity. The most important thing is for each of us to have some freedom in our heart, some stability in our heart, some peace in our heart. Only then will we be able to relieve the suffering around us."

- Thich Nhat Hanh
