Beautiful music beautiful people and the permanent human message of longing for hope & change. There is this to consider though, every generation must endure the human condition and every generation must feel and be moved by despair. There is no other way to make the choices we must make. Have no fear, the worlds people have always existed best united in the struggle to unite.

So many little children watch their parents screaming and yelling at each other or worse. Then usually the divorce comes. Their little lives are turned upside down. It all feels so wrong. No peace anywhere in their lives. For many, that's when the bullying at school starts because they are vulnerable. Often the ones doing the bullying are the ones who are having a poor home life. I think people who were bullied in life grow up to be bullies - just because they can be.
World peace can only happen one city at a time and then one country at a time. How I wish.

Charity does begin at home and peace too, but we must also learn to love our enemies. You won't let anyone tell you a bullet is more powerful than a hug, will you? Good for you, and for me.The video was great.
