September 21st Is International Peace Day
September 21st is the International Day of Peace established by a resolution of the United Nations in 1981. According to the website listed below, “Peace Day provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date.”

Peace is a concern, on some level, for all human beings. For many humans, there is no peace owing to overt war, omnipresent violence and ruthless oppression. Yet, even in our so-called “civilized society,” our newscasts frequently contain reports of violence and murder against innocent victims – most often because of differences that apparently frighten some people enough that they choose to harm others – most recently in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
How can today be a day of peace for you . . . within your family, your profession, your friends – and, as importantly as any other – within yourself? Peace can be built. How can each of us contribute to expanding peace on our planet?
