What a concept!  In today's world, where there is a lack of jobs, and lots of poverty, hunger, crime and war, how much better off we would  be if we each made the first sentence of that song our daily prayer.

It doesn't matter what your beliefs are, your religion is immaterial, everybody can believe in peace, and everybody can contribute to making the world a peaceful and harmonious place for all of us.

• Never judge anyone by the color of their skin, their religion, or their sexual preferences.  Judge everyone by their PERSONAL characteristics instead. 

• Love, unconditionally,  those that we choose as friends.  Do not condemn the rest of the people because they are NOT our friends.   Acknowledge their presence and their right to live as they choose, as long as their ways harm no one. 

• Use material wealth as it is meant to be used, for your comfort and the comfort of those around you.  Be charitable with what you have and when you donate to those less fortunate, do it anonymously. 

• Do not dwell on the material comforts of the world, they are nice to have, but we can live without them. *And I know this from personal experience* 

• Develop a sense of humor!  Don't take offense at every little joke andperceived innuendo.

• Most importantly, make peace with YOURSELF!  Learn to deal with what you can't change, and change what you can, to make yourself the best person that you can be.  If you can love yourself, you then can love others - BUT NOT BEFORE. 

So come...
take my hand, and let's make a huge circle around the world, and remember:

"LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH, AND LET IT BEGIN WITH

WORLD PEACE AND HARMONY
SHALL WE TRY???
