                    [028]  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – BE NOT CONFORMED TO THE WORLD
“If you don’t agree with us, you are not included.”  “We will finance your new building but only if you add a night club.”

If I am a fool I will act like a fool.  If I care for no one, you will probably find me at parties drinking and smoking pot.  You see our behaviour flows from what we are inside.

                    INFLUENCE THE WORLD
Whenever I held my newborn babe in my arms, I used to think what I did and what I said to him would have an influence, not only on him, but on everyone he meets, not for a day, or a year, but for all time and for eternity.  What a challenge, what a joy!

The Society of International law in London states this incredible statistic: since the beginning of recorded history, the entire world has been at peace less than 8% of the time. Over the last 4000 years of history, only 268 years saw peace. 
Moreover in excess of 8000 peace
