RI THRUST AREA

The world is increasingly getting aggressive.

Despite millennia of religion, civilization and culture, peace among people and nations remains elusive.

But for the future of humanity, peace deserves a chance.

• PEACE CAN BE DEFINED BY WHAT IT IS NOT.

• IT IS A STATE OF NO WAR, NO VIOLENCE AND NO FEAR

• IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT IN DANGER OF HUNGER OR PERSECUTION OR THE SUFFERING OF POVERTY

• PEACE CAN ALSO BE DEFINED BY WHAT IT IS AND BY WHAT IT CAN BE.

• PEACE CAN MEAN FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF OPINION & OF CHOICE AND THE ABILITY FOR SELF DETERMINATION

• IT CAN MEAN SECURITY, CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE, A LIFE & HOME IN A STABLE SOCIETY

• ON MORE ABSTRACT LEVEL, PEACE CAN MEAN A SENSE OF HAPPINESS, OF INNER SERNITY, OF CALM

• THE TRUTH IS THAT PEACE MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. NO DEFINATION IS RIGHT AND NO DEFINATION IS RIGHT

It isn't enough to talk about peace.

One must believe in it.

And it isn't enough to believe in it.

One must work at it.

HOW WE ACHIEVE IT?
