Blog 13 Peace on Earth

Is it possible to achieve peace? This is a question that has been asked for probably thousands of years. Peace on earth is a common motto during Christmas time. Why cant the giving and activism continue throughout the year. Is it that people are not capable to do so. Is out world set up so that people try to be good humans only for a short amount of time and go back to screwing up. Maybe, most humans are programed to try but fail, but deep down I believe that humans are capable of much more than what meets the eye. Humans were born with a soul and a brain if you but two and two together people have all the qualities that one would need to give and create a peaceful environment all year long. Now, I am not 100 years old and I am no professor but it seems to me that humanity has become so trapped in fitting into the social norms of their cultural society that they have lost sight of the true and beautiful ideals of life. One thing in America that is socially acceptable is for people to work around the clock. What happened to taking a small amount of time lets say 30 min. to breath or laugh! All I am saying is that perhaps the pop-culture is not all that it is cracked up to be. Perhaps we would all be better and have more peace in our lives if we went against the social and popular norms of our society through creating an environment full of peace and love as much as possible. Maybe just maybe their would be more peace on earth and joy if people were less hedonistic and more giving all year long the world would be a better place! Until then I will keep on keeping on with my life philosophies and I will keep hope alive.
