About This Quote

Living in peace has transformative power! There has been a lot of talk about the world being divided into the haves and have-nots. This is quite true in many ways, but there are people who choose to be part of the world that is not rich. They choose to live in peace where they can make a difference for the good. Peace, when free from conflict, can transform individuals and whole communities.

For example, in the 1980’s in Liberia, there was a terrible war between two factions. The war had displaced many people in Liberia and was making life difficult for all involved. However, when one group decided to declare peace before the war spread any further, they were able to transform their community forever.

People no longer had to fear for their lives because they could leave their homes once again. To see this transformation in action, it is important to remember that everyone can make an impact on the world around them if they choose peace over war.
