This was a pretty naive facebook event I was invited to called ‘A Day of Peace’ with three rules.

Rule #1.
Say not a single unkind thing about anyone or anything. If at all possible, try not to even think a nasty thought. If we do, reflect on why it was that we thought to say it in the first place.
——————————————————————————————————————-
Rule #2.
Show everyone we cross paths with some genuine human compassion. Be it with a smile or kind words, just spread some love.
——————————————————————————————————————-
Rule #3.
Make not one person the exception to the rule. Not everyone deserves to have roses thrown at their feet and have a holiday in their honor, but nobody deserves to feel alone. Reach out. Talk to someone new. Care about them, and we will be cared for in return.

-There is something quite wrong with this. The world is in a quality that is near opposite of peace, pretending that it is for a day and ‘holding our tongues’ does not make it so and will not make it so. To come to a point of peace we need to do the opposite, not ignore our oppression and ‘think not a nasty thought’, but to stand up and scream at it, let loose our real feelings in an act of revolution - this is the only way we can create peace.
