Peace Is the Way

INSPIRATIONAL, 26 Dec 2016

Prof. Dietrich Fischer – TRANSCEND Media Service

Gandhi said, “There is no way to peace, peace is the way.”

It is impossible to establish peace once and for all, and to expect that it will remain that way. It requires a daily effort to reestablish it again and again. Similarly, it would be an illusion to think that once we have cleaned up a room, it will remain that way. We need to put things constantly into their correct place; otherwise we will soon have total chaos.
