About This Quote

So, if the world is full of people who want to hurt each other, can we really hope to bring peace through retribution? If you’re feeling good about yourself today, imagine what it would be like if everyone else was feeling bad. What would you do? I’m sure you’d start looking for someone to blame. And, if you did find someone to blame, what would you do? Would you take revenge? Would you try to defend yourself? If we were all completely rational beings with the same beliefs and goals, it might be best to put a stop to all conflict. But we aren’t.

We’re human beings with a lot of desires and needs. So how will we ever hope to bring true peace when we can’t even fulfill our own goals in a just way? To follow in the footsteps of Gandhi and Mandela would require a lot of work and a lot of patience. It would mean focusing on our goals and accepting that there will be days when we don’t get what we want.

Instead of seeking revenge or trying to win an argument, we should learn from our mistakes and apologize when necessary. In this way, the world will become a better place.
