Day 48 - Disarmament

We cannot achieve peace in our families, communities, countries or the world unless we disarm from the inside out.

Reflection
  • What would the world look like if there were no weapons?
  • What if we used the resources for developing weapons to develop social and economic projects throughout the world?
  • Imagine such a world for yourself and your family, because until we believe it is possible, it cannot become a reality.
Action
  • Write about the ways you arm yourself and what it would take to begin the process of your own disarmament.
  • Today, have a conversation with someone about what the world would be like if there were no need for weapons.
“Without inner disarmament, it is very difficult to achieve genuine, lasting world peace.”
The Dalai Lama
“I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“It's useless to disarm the hands, if the heart remains armed”
Bangambiki Habyarimana
“If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything, it is that peace does not follow disarmament - disarmament follows peace.”
Bernard Baruch
“1st step towards achieving peace is to replace the widespread culture of war with the culture of peace.”
Widad Akrawi
“By right we arm but by love disarm”
