Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Pixels for Peace
I got a lovely email this week from a man who is a Peace Tax Resister. In it, he suggested I spearhead a new website called Peace On. His idea is that our various and sundry War(s) on various and sundry themes—terrorism, drugs, obesity—aren’t working and he wondered about the notion of throwing a little peace on these matters to see if that might work better.
Not so coincidentally, I’d been thinking about ways to use the worldwide web for peace. His idea made me smile.
Then a headline appeared in the Week In Review in this Sunday’s New York Times which made me think seriously about using the web for peace. Here’s how it read:
What to Do About Pixels of Hate
The article was about a self-appointed Internet “cop,” for lack of a better word, who is waging a one-person campaign on militant Islamist websites. What he’s doing to them is knocking them offline. One at a time.
From the article:
“This disappearance mystified American counterterrorism officials. They hadn’t shut them down, they knew, so who had?
“Happily claiming credit for the jihadi blackout is a Christian-Lebanese engineer named Joseph G. Shahda, who is waging a private, and passionate, war on terrorism from his home near Boston.
“These sites are very, very dangerous,” Mr. Shahda said. “And I think we should keep going after them. They are used as recruiting tools for terrorists, arousing emotions, teaching how to hate.”
Oscar Hammerstein II said it more simply in the classical musical masterpiece, South Pacific. “You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear.”
What I want to know is do we have to be taught to love and accept?
Is my email correspondent right? Is it time for a Peace On website? Send me an email to make your pixels stand for peace: [email protected]
In the meantime, Peace On!

Some people think that it is not likely to be possible for them to go through the hard phases of life. Of course, apart from all of the obstacles, there are also people that would have to endure big time in various ways. If you are person who does not have a great deal of faith and confidence, you would not manage to face all of these challenges.

Redefining Holy-days for Peace
For some reason, I am especially conscious of approaching the darkest dark this year. There are just under two weeks till the cycle of light begins to grow again and the darkness is somehow more pungent, more poignant this year.
Certainly, the world economy has something to do with it. I find that I am unwilling to buy “things” just for the sake of having gifts for friends and family. So I was thrilled to discover an organization called Changing the Present.

In general, those I knew and know who have had or have HIV/AIDS respond in one of two ways. Either they deplore both the disease and themselves becoming bitter, hurt and hurting people, or they use their diagnoses as a springboard for personal transformation.
I once had a friend describe an experience of mine as “the best worst thing that ever happened to you.” An HIV/AIDS diagnosis carries the same blessing curse, or cursed blessing, take your pick.

Tama J. Kieves writes in September 2007’s issue of Science of Mind, “Big dreams deserve big love.” This is an action we can all take to promote the dream of peace. We can all do this because the action takes place in our minds and hearts.
The next time you sit or wait or stand in silence send the love that you are to the idea of peace for our world. Make this a habit. Send big love to peace. This may sound fuzzy to those who prefer the seen to the unseen. On the other hand, everything begins wi

We cannot afford to have enemies within! Enemies of any kind, if we want to participate in the creation of peace on our planet. Sometimes it helps to know why I’m working toward whatever I’m working toward. Namely, what I treasure. Peace is my greatest treasure. What’s yours?

Consider the words of the first Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces during World War II, Five-Star General Dwight David Eisenhower:
I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.
