"Peace begins with a smile." - Mother Teresa 1910-1997, Roman Catholic Nun, Nobel Peace Prize Recipient
How, I wonder has the world forgotten, or not know, this simple little phrase. As I write this, bombs are exploding, guns are being fired, and people are being killed. People are killing people. What's wrong with that sentence. It doesn't sound right at all. No, people are not smiling at each other. That is the problem, though I suspect in today's world, someone smiling at another can be a cause for bombs, guns and killings.
Peace is what must happen. A kind, gentle and sincere smile has to be the catalyst. There really is no other simpler solution than that.
At a smaller and no less important level, we can resolve to smile more at those around us; we can resolve to make peace every single day!
