Hello World .. my name is James, and this is my wish.

[ourMootWorld]

.. a wish .. a dream ..

I close my eyes and long .. .

(-_-) ..if only there could be peace..


(~_0) ..?..


Nope .. didn't work. :\ Oh well, no harm in trying I guess.

Unrealistic as it may sound, I do wish for peace. I wish for a day where fists remain open, and it's ok to be different. A day where the laughter of children isn't muted by hunger and despair. A day where uprising is more about bread, than it is about war.

Perhaps if peace came with a T-shirt and travel miles more would sign on.

I wish I could offer my hands, my words .. my life .. to further peace, but alas, my life is not really mine to give .. it's owned by banks and creditors, prime time and pepsi. Perhaps that's what the expression "a lease on life" now means .. that we no longer own our lives, but rather can rent it for no money down, and a low monthly fee. :\

!Yikes! .. gloomy stuff, I know .. but the world is a gloomy place.

Unrealistic as it may sound .. I DO wish for peace.

Poetic rhetoric aside, I do wish I could further peace. If I could, I would go anywhere, do anything .. dig a ditch, build a school, hold a hand .. wipe a tear ..

But how .. ?

I wish I could make peace my full time job. I tried once, when I was free of the burden of payments, free to offer my life when it was still my own .. but I guess peace wasn't hiring, because no one responded.

I really do wish I could work for peace full time, if there was a way, I most certainly would do it .. but how can I when I'm bound by financial obligations? Money and peace have never exactly gone hand in hand, in fact, more often than not, they are at odds with one another so I'm at a loss.

Hi everyone, my name is James, and I'm from Canada.

Cheers ...

How sad. How very sad indeed! Do you not James, realize you have been given a period of time (lifetime) to work for an eternity of peace. Death is a reward. Death is a passing of a lifetime of trials and tribulations to prove if you are worthy of an eternity of peace or it's opposite. In other words the rule of nature says you will reap what you sow. Treat others like you would like them to treat you at all times. Anger will flee and peace will flood your soul for you will reap what you sow. Help and pray for those who crap on you for then you will reap what you have sown, 'help', when you need it most. Plant a smile in another's eye and you will receive many more. Give anger to another and that is what you will receive many times over. This law of nature dictates that you will always receive more of what you sow than what you plant. As long as we are part of this earth and it's laws of existence we cannot change them. Only we are responsible for what we do, not others.

So James of Canada, it is only what you plant and give to others is what will be returned to you many times over. You can lead a mule to water but you cannot make him drink. You can try to lead the world to peace but you cannot make them drink. Every man is only responsible for his own actions and not others so quit trying and start working on yourself for it is you who is seeking peace not others. Let those seeking strife, war, hate and so-forth reap what they sow many times over.
